🛒 Ingredients

Here’s everything you need to make a full batch:

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking soda
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 cups buttermilk
2 eggs
¼ cup oil (canola or vegetable oil work well)
Fresh blueberries, to taste (about 1 cup)

Tip: If using frozen blueberries, don’t thaw first — just toss them in straight from the freezer to avoid bleeding color.

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and oil until smooth.

3. Combine

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix — it’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy!

Gently fold in your blueberries.

4. Cook

Heat a griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil if needed. Scoop batter using a ¼ cup measuring cup (my go-to tool for perfect pancakes every time!).

Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook until golden brown.

5. Serve

Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar. These are also amazing with whipped cream and a few extra fresh berries!

❄️ Freezing & Reheating Instructions

These pancakes are perfect for freezing — here’s how to do it:

Let pancakes cool completely.
Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for 30–60 minutes.
Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container.
To reheat: Microwave for 20–30 seconds per pancake or toast for a lightly crisp exterior.

These make the easiest school-day breakfasts! Just pop them in and go.

🔄 Variations

Lemon Blueberry Pancakes: Add 1 tbsp lemon zest for a fresh twist.
Banana Blueberry Pancakes: Fold in 1 mashed banana with the wet ingredients.
Whole Wheat Option: Substitute half the flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier pancake.
Mini Pancakes: Make them silver dollar size for toddlers or brunch platters.

📝 Tips for the Best Pancakes

Don’t overmix. A few lumps are fine! Overmixing makes pancakes tough.
Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking for an even fluffier texture.
Use real buttermilk if you can — it makes a difference in flavor and rise.
Don’t overcrowd the pan. Give pancakes space to spread and flip cleanly.
