Fluffy tender Homemade Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes are so easy to make with staples from your pantry and so delicious. 

I’ve touted about my recipe for Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes in several posts here on the blog. Simply put, they’re the BEST! I’m a pancake eating expert, with years of training under my belt, and… around my middle! (That’s why they’re under my belt! Yep! Starting early with the bad quips!)

Homemade Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes

There’s only thing that could make Classic Buttermilk Pancakes even better? Blueberries!

It’s a tradition at this Nest to have a stack of these fluffy mouthwatering blueberry pancakes every Saturday morning! Yep! Every Saturday morning. Why? Because they are my husbands very favorite! Very Favorite!! I love him, so I love making him his favorite weekend breakfast. 

Thankfully they’re my favorite too, so it’s not a sacrifice to whip up a batch. You can use fresh blueberries or frozen. However, I do so love using fresh big plump fresh juicy blueberries. Makes them an even sweeter weekend treat!

How To Make Fresh Homemade Blueberry Pancakes

In a large bowl combine 3 cups all-purpose flour, 3 Tablespoons sugar, 3 teaspoons baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Mix together with a whisk to combine.

TIP: Whisking flour is like “sifting” flour. It creates a nice light product.

Flour, sugar and other dry ingredients in a bowl for blueberry pancakes

In a large measuring cup, or microwave safe bowl, melt 1/3 cup butter. Slowly add 3 cups cold buttermilk while whisking. This will cause the melted butter to form tiny little butter balls and these balls create little pockets of air as they melt during cooking. Creating a light fluffy pancake… the likes of which you’ve never tasted before.

Add 1/2 cup of milk and 3 eggs and whisk to combine. Add wet ingredients to the dry.

Blend until you have a smooth batter. There will be air bubbles! No worries…it’s a glorious thing!

Spray griddle with non-stick cooking spray. Use a paper towel to wipe off the excess cooking oil.

This is just a little trick I use to make sure the batter doesn’t stick to the griddle and creates an even golden cake. I only do this for the first batch to hit the griddle. Unless you are not using a non-stick surface…then you may need to spray it more than once to prevent the pancakes from sticking.

Heat the griddle and pour, or scoop, about 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot griddle.

Rather than mixing the blueberries into the batter, I sprinkle them on top of each pancake as they bake on the griddle. Why? Because mixing the berries into the batter can cause them to break and turn your batter blue! (Remember Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory? Nobody wants blue kids or blue pancakes!)

Adding blueberries to each baking pancake

The pancakes are ready to flip when the batter rises around the blueberries, snuggling them with little hugs, and the majority of the bubbles have popped.

TIP: You can lift a corner of one pancake for a peek to see how pretty it is…if they’re nice and golden brown…start a flippin’!! (The pancakes…not yourself…unless you feel like doing a few backflips while ya wait for them to do there thing!)

I pile the cooked pancakes on a plate and cover them with a clean dish cloth (Yes Please!) to keep them nice and warm until we are ready to eat!

Aren’t these the prettiest pancakes you’ve ever seen? We love to top them off with big slabs of butter and a healthy dose of blueberry syrup or blackberry syrup! (Why not right? Go big or go home! That’s my motto…not a healthy one…but it’s my motto!)

Buttermilk makes everything taste better…that and blueberries! It’s a winning combination.
