A simple and quick recipe for fluffy blueberry pancakes using just four main ingredients, perfect for a cozy family breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole or 2%, or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 cup (150g) blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • Optional: pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, sift together 1 cup all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk 1 large egg with 1 cup milk until smooth and slightly frothy. Add vanilla extract if using.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; batter should be slightly lumpy.
  4. Gently fold in 1 cup blueberries. If using frozen, toss them in flour first to prevent sinking.
  5. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set, then flip and cook 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Keep cooked pancakes warm on a plate covered loosely with foil while finishing the batch. Serve immediately with toppings of choice.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use fresh baking powder for best rise. Medium heat prevents burning. Toss frozen blueberries in flour before folding to avoid sinking. Let batter rest 5 minutes if possible.
