INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine all the dry ingredients (minus the blueberries) in a medium bowl.
- In a smaller bowl, whisk all the wet ingredients. Add the wet ingredients to the dry bowl and whisk until well combined. The batter will be thicker.
- Fold in the blueberries and set the batter aside.
- Heat a skillet on low/medium-high heat and coat with butter or spray oil.
- Spoon the batter onto the skillet, keeping your pancakes roughly 3-4 inches in size. Let them cook for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Serve immediately with maple syrup and butter. Enjoy!
SUBSTITUTIONS/VARIATIONS
- Use chocolate chips. Have a chocolate lover in the house? A handful of chocolate chips thrown into the batter will add an extra sweet chocolate delight to these pancakes.
- Nutty goodness. Add a handful of chopped walnuts, or pecans to give these pancakes a little crunch to complement the softness.
- Fruity Twist. Donβt have blueberries around? Not a big blueberry fan? You can easily swap for sliced bananas, chopped strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries.
- Add a topping. Butter and maple syrup are staple toppings for pancakes, but there are also a variety of other options. Coconut whipped cream, honey, additional blueberries, or even blueberry syrup make delicious toppings.
TIPS
- Donβt overmix the batter. Stir the ingredients until combined and incorporated.
- If you want a thinner pancake batter, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to thin it out.
- Gently fold blueberries into the batter using a spatula. This will help make sure they donβt get smooshed.
- Use a well-greased pan or skillet. Cook the pancakes on medium-low heat so as too not to burn them.
- Use a spoon or measuring cup when pouring the batter into the pan. This helps make sure the pancakes have an even thickness.
- The pancakes are ready to flip when the bubbles have formed on the top of the pancakes and start to pop leaving small holes behind. This should be 1-2 minutes after the batter is poured into the skillet.
- Do not press down on the pancakes with your spatula while cooking; this can squeeze out moisture and produce a drier pancake.
- Use fresh blueberries, if possible. Frozen are fine to use in place too.
