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. I’m already planning a cake week. Yes. A whole week of cakes!!! 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?
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 😉
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!
These blueberry beauties are luscious and tender thanks to sour cream, whole milk, and a couple of eggs. Nothing fancy here!
And they get their sweetness from a kiss of brown sugar and a heavy hand of berries! Simple simple does the job 🙂
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
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
- In a large bowl whisk together the egg yolks, sour cream, milk, sugar, salt, vanilla, and baking powder.
- In a separate large bowl add flour and blueberries and toss to combine, making sure berries are fully coated in the flour.
- 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.
- 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.
- With a rubber spatula fold egg whites into flour/sour cream mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Ladle 1/3 cup scoops of the batter into the skillet, only cooking a few at a time so they don’t blend together.
- 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.
- Top pancakes with syrup and extra blueberries, or anything else your heart desires! Serve at once.
You are right, these are the Pancakes of my dreams!! My 3 little boys absolutely love these pancakes and ask me to make them all the time. Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
These are THE BEST blueberry pancakes – in fact THE BEST pancakes we have ever tasted in our lives (and my husband is 77 years old)! I wasn’t sure about this recipe at first (so little flour?; what-no baking soda?; only 3 tablespoons of milk???), but I made it EXACTLY as written, and I am so glad I did. If anyone is thinking about altering this recipe, you’re making a mistake. DO NOT change a single thing! I cooked them on a buttered griddle at 325 degrees, watching them carefully. They took a little longer to cook this way, but worth the time. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe. The pancakes were melt-in-your-mouth, heavenly delicious;-)
Made these this morning…have never dreamt of blueberry pancakes but that might change after eating these! Thanks for a great recipe!
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!
We made these for years & your recipe is THE BEST! Thank you!
Well you said these were the best pancakes and that is what they are. I made and ate these for new years breakfast and i cant tell you how impressed we all were. They are truly the best pancakes i have ever eaten. Thank you so much for sharing. This recipe will be with me for life!
WOW! Seriously the best blueberry pancakes we’ve ever had! So worth the extra little steps. YUM!
