Ingredients

  • 150 g All-purpose flour
  • 180 ml Milk
  • 1 large Egg
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 100 g Fresh blueberries
  • 20 g Butter (melted)
  • 1 tbsp Sugar

Instructions

1

Make batter

Whisk flour, baking powder, and sugar. In another bowl, mix milk, egg, and melted butter. Combine wet and dry — stir until just mixed (lumps are fine).

2

Fold in blueberries

Gently fold blueberries into the batter. Do not overmix or the berries will break and turn the batter blue.

3

Cook pancakes

Heat a buttered pan over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form and edges look set (2-3 min), flip, cook 1-2 min more.

4

Serve warm

Stack pancakes and serve with maple syrup, extra blueberries, and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.

Recipe Notes & Tips

  • Mix the batter gently — lumps are your friend when making fluffy pancakes.
  • Drop a few extra blueberries on top of each pancake right after pouring onto the pan.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 95°C (200°F) oven while cooking the rest of the batch.

Variations

  • Low-carb version: Reduce or swap the carb source for extra vegetables or cauliflower rice.
  • Higher protein: Add an extra serving of protein or a side of Greek yogurt.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Overcooking: Watch the timing carefully — overcooked ingredients lose texture and nutrients.
  • Under-seasoning: Healthy food should still taste great. Don't skip the seasoning step.

How to Store

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop.

What to Serve With This

  • Side salad: A fresh green salad with lemon vinaigrette adds volume and vitamins.
  • Water or herbal tea: Stay hydrated with a calorie-free beverage to complement this meal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my blueberry pancakes flat?

Overmixing the batter develops gluten, making pancakes tough and flat. Stir until just combined — a few lumps are perfectly fine and actually desirable.

Can I use frozen blueberries in pancakes?

Yes, but do not thaw them first. Add frozen berries directly to the batter to prevent them from bleeding and turning your pancakes purple.

How do I keep pancakes fluffy?

Three key tips: fresh baking powder, minimal mixing, and medium heat. Also, let the batter rest 2 minutes before cooking.
