The Blueberry Pancakes Of Your Dreams

Blueberry Pancakes

I’m looking forward to this Summer! I’m so excited for lazy days reading in the park, loads of market fresh produce, and ahem – my BIRTHDAY! Yep. Only 1 month away now. So totally… that girl.ย I’m already planning a cake week. Yes.ย A whole week of cakes!!!ย But really – more than anything – I’m excited for Summer breakfast! And to me, Summer breakfast means blueberry pancakes. Hot mornings… fresh blueberries… sweet, buttery, ultra-fluffy pancakes. Not a bad combo, right?

The Blueberry Pancakes Of Your Dreams

As you’ve probably noticed by now, I labeled these pancakes the ones of your dreams. A bold statement… but I’m standing by it! These pancakes are really the best. I tested them literally 16 times. You know, just to be sure ๐Ÿ˜‰

So what makes them the best (you ask)? Well, it’s pretty simple. They’re full of blueberries; tender enough to cut without a knife; and not too sweet to drench in syrup! Syrup is an important part of the pancake game!

The Blueberry Pancakes Of Your Dreams

These blueberry beauties are luscious and tender thanks to sour cream, whole milk, and a couple of eggs. Nothing fancy here!

The Blueberry Pancakes Of Your Dreams

And they get their sweetness from a kiss of brown sugar and a heavy hand of berries! Simple simple does the job ๐Ÿ™‚

The Blueberry Pancakes Of Your Dreams

I just love these perfect pancakes! And I know you will too. What’s your favorite Summertime breakfast? xoxo

The Blueberry Pancakes Of Your Dreams

Author Ashley Manila

Soft and fluffy Blueberry Pancakes are a family favorite breakfast!

Ingredients

  • *Makes about 14 pancakes
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons whole milk
  • 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2/3 cups + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 4 tablespoons butter, for the pan
  • Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl whisk together the egg yolks, sour cream, milk, sugar, salt, vanilla, and baking powder.
  2. In a separate large bowl add flour and blueberries and toss to combine, making sure berries are fully coated in the flour.
  3. Add flour mixture to the wet milk mixture, and stir just to combine; do not over mix! The batter will be thick, so don't worry if there's a lot of clumps left.
  4. Add egg whites to a large bowl or the body of a stand mixer. Beat using a handheld mixer or the whisk attachment until the whites begin to form soft peaks.
  5. With a rubber spatula fold egg whites into flour/sour cream mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
  6. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  7. Ladle 1/3 cup scoops of the batter into the skillet, only cooking a few at a time so they don't blend together.
  8. Cook pancakes until the edges begin to brown and the top of the batter bubbles, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat for all pancake batter.
  9. Top pancakes with syrup and extra blueberries, or anything else your heart desires! Serve at once.

I hate when people are stingy with the amount of blueberries in pancakes lol…but really ๐Ÿ˜‰ This is probably one of my fav summer breakfasts, along with some great quality peppered bacon ๐Ÿ˜€ My favorite is in August after i’ve picked some fresh wild blueberries, then making delicious things like pancakes using them.

    Oh my!! These look insanely divine.
    The sour cream is key, right? I know that yogurt is 10 x better than milk for fluffiness, so I cannot even imagine the silky, cloud-like fluffiness that full fat sour cream results in! I can’t believe I have never got round to trying it before…your pics are actually pushing me into trying it!
    My favorite summer time breakfast is probably something with maple syrup actually! Peanut butter too…I don’t know! I can never ever decide! I can tell you that these pics are beautiful though! Thanks for the perfect recipe, totally pinning this to remind me of whats for saturday brunch!!

      Hi Michelle! I haven’t tried frozen, but readers have made them with frozen and reported back good results ๐Ÿ™‚ So it should work just fine. My only tip, be sure to not defrost the berries before mixing them in. They should go straight from the freezer into the batter, to avoid purple streaks/mushy berries.

        February 10, 2019 at 5:58 pm

        I made the mistake of running cold water over my frozen berries first. I think it added too much moisture to the batter. Also I used reduced fat milk and sour cream. Next time I will try without the milk at all, to see if the reduced moisture helps the batter. It took longer for mine to cook, which burned the tops. But I still ate them- very tasty!

    Ahhhhhhmazing!!! Seriously “so fluffy I’m gonna die” came to mind whilst scooping the pillowy batter out of the bowl to the pan! For the little extra work put into these pancakes such as; whipping the egg whites, it’s totally worth it! The only thing I did different than what the instructions said was… With a whisk I whipped the liquids up BEFORE adding the baking powder.. My sour cream was super thick and needed a beat down.. Then folded the baking powder into the liquids and follwed instructions. Great recipe! thank you! I should have doubled it for 4 hungry teenage boys.. My bad!

    happy independence day! Made these for a nice holiday breakfast and they were a hit! My son asked for 4 helpings! That’s the most food I’ve seen him eat! I was a little intimidated with beating the egg whites to the mixture, but it expanded the batter almost twice the size! So I can see how someone might only get a few pancakes out of it, but after beating the egg whites till it’s almost stiff, I was able to get about 12 pancakes! VERY DELISH!!!!!!! Thank you =)

      I’m thrilled to hear you and your son enjoyed these pancakes! And I’m happy you didn’t let the egg white beating stop you from making them. It can definitely be intimidating the first time you do it, but it becomes second nature after a while.

    These are awesome! I used full fat greek yogurt because it’s what I had on hand, and instead of regular flour I did 1/3c almond flour and 1/3c + 2T oat flour to make them gluten free and a bit higher in protein. I also had to use frozen blueberries out of necessity. Even with all that adjustment they turned out beautifully! Thank you for the terrific recipe.

WOW… these are most definitely the best blueberry pancakes we have EVER had! I have to say, I didn’t have sour cream in the fridge so I substituted with whole fat greek plain yogurt. It worked out just fine. They cook up so incredibly fluffy and light, with big bursts of blueberries in every bite. This will my go-to blueberry pancake recipe from here on out.

    I cut the recipe by 3rd and made 4 perfect little 4inch pancakes. My 2yo said, ‘mmm mmm good!’ so I’ll definitely make a batch to freeze. I was hesitant to try this recipe because of the egg whites but it was worth hauling out the stand mixer. Perfectly good with butter and maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream. Thank you for sharing, they were thoroughly enjoyed!
