That moment when you bite into a soft fluffy Blueberry Pancake and a warm blueberry bursts in your mouth……. My tip is to make them a little thicker and fluffier than plain pancakes so there’s plenty of space to fill them out with loads of blueberries!

Extra fluffy Blueberry Pancakes – worth waking up for!

Slightly crispy edges.

Golden surfaces.

Soft and fluffy on the inside, soaked through with maple syrup and melted butter.

And that moment when you bite into a warm blueberry and it bursts in your mouth…

It’s just a little bit of food heaven right there.

What you need for fluffy Blueberry Pancakes

Plain fluffy pancakes only require flour, baking powder, sugar, vanilla, milk and an egg.

But to make fluffy blueberry pancakes, we need to give the pancakes an extra rising boost because the blueberries kind of “weighs down” the batter a bit. Especially if you use frozen ones.

The Fluff Boosters we’re using here are baking soda and vinegar.

Baking soda (also known as bi carbonate soda) is basically baking powder on steroids – it’s about 3 times as strong. It’s sold alongside baking powder at the grocery store.

The vinegar activates the baking soda – gives it a kick start. Don’t worry, you can’t taste the vinegar! (PS Buttermilk has the same effect – but I always make these with milk and vinegar because I always have them and it’s cheaper).

How do you make Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes?

How to make FLUFFY Blueberry Pancakes

Whisk dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and soda, salt and sugar). Add wet (butter, egg, milk, vanilla, vinegar). Mix, add blueberries, dollop, watch for bubbles, flip.

Simple ,right?

Yep. Dangerously so!

Can I make Blueberry Pancakes with frozen blueberries?

YES! Works perfectly. Do not thaw and minimise stirring (otherwise it bleeds and can discolour the batter).

Get two pans going. You got this!

To avoid the need to keep the blueberry pancakes warm in the oven, I like to get two pans going. But if you prefer to stick to the leisurely approach and use one pan, just keep the cooked ones warm in the oven on a rack (this stops the bottom of the pancakes from sweating and going soggy).

Do not stack them in the oven – you’ll squish the ones at the bottom!!!

Wait until you’re ready to serve, then stack them, top with a pat of butter, douse them with maple syrup, rub your hands in anticipation before you plunge your knife in to be greeted with the sight of soft fluffy insides studded with warm, juicy blueberries……

If you’re making these today, I want to be you. – Nagi x

Health benefits of blueberries

Blueberries, like all berries, are packed with antioxidants and Vitamin C. They are often called a superfood for their many health-promoting benefits. Studies suggest blueberries may help improve skin, bone and circulation when eaten as part of a balanced, healthy diet.

They are also low in calories at only 57 calories per 100g/3.5 oz – so pig out on blueberries without fear! (OK … maybe in delicious pancake form that figure might go up a weeee little bit … 😂)
