🥧 Ingredients
*See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
- Flour - For a gluten-free option, try almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend, but note that the texture may vary slightly.
- Egg - Use a large egg. For a vegan alternative, substitute with a flaxseed or chia seed egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed or chia seeds mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water).
- Blueberries - You can use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, there's no need to thaw them first, but they may create a slightly more colourful batter!
♻️ Substitutions
- Milk: Try oat, almond, or soy milk for a dairy-free option.
- Brown Sugar: Swap for coconut sugar or regular granulated sugar if needed.
- Butter: Use coconut oil in place of butter for a dairy-free version.

- Lemon-berry: Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon zest. If you love citrus cakes, make this classic old-fashioned one-egg lemon cake.
- Protein boost: Mix in 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (add extra milk if thick).

To speed things up, use two pans at once for cooking the pancakes! This way, you can cook multiple pancakes simultaneously, cutting down your prep time. You'll have a delicious stack ready in no time, perfect for serving your family or friends all at once! Plus, it adds a bit of excitement to the cooking process!

❓ Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes (30-Minute Breakfast!) FAQs
Yes, just make sure they're thawed and drained to prevent excess liquid in the
I like to toss the blueberries in a bit of flour before adding them. It helps keep them from sinking straight to the bottom. You can also try sprinkling them right onto the batter after you've poured it into the pan - that's what I usually do, and it works like a charm!
That green tint usually means there's too much baking soda in the batter. It reacts with the natural pigments in the blueberries. I fix this by using buttermilk or adding a splash of lemon juice to help balance the batter. Keeps the colour (and the pancakes) looking way better!
Swap the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
Absolutely-try honey, Quick Berry Sauce for Pancakes, Ice Cream & More (4-Ingredient!), maple syrup or yoghurt for a simple finish. For a rich topping, drizzle these pancakes with an easy chocolate sauce for desserts-ready in 5 minutes!

📖 Recipe
Best Blueberry Pancakes (Extra Fluffy Every Time!)
Ingredients
Pancakes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour self-raising flour + skip baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (omit if using self-raising flour)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- ½ cup milk (dairy or almond)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoon melted unsalted butter plus extra for cooking, (or oil)
- 250 g fresh/frozen blueberries (no thaw!)
Instructions
- Add all your wet and dry ingredients straight into a blender, along with the blueberries, and blitz until smooth. If you prefer, blend only half of the blueberries and fold in the rest afterward to keep some whole in the batter.1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoon brown sugar, ½ cup milk, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoon melted unsalted butter, 250 g fresh/frozen blueberries
- Let it sit for 5-10 minutes while you heat up a non-stick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with a bit of butter, then pour in a ladle of batter. When bubbles appear on the surface, flip and cook until golden on both sides. They'll puff up nicely-about 1 cm thick.
- Keep going until all the batter is used, adding more butter if needed between batches.
- Stack the pancakes on a plate. I like to drizzle warm chocolate ganache between the layers and over the top, or serve them with berry sauce and a spoon of Greek yogurt-it's refreshing and so good. Want to make it extra special? Add a few fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar. Serve right away-this one's always a hit!

Notes
Tips and Tricks
- Thick Batter is Best: The batter should be thick, but if it's too dense, add a little milk.
- Don't Overmix: Mixing too much can make pancakes tough. Mix just until everything is combined.
- Perfect Heat: Medium heat prevents the pancakes from burning while cooking evenly.
