The Blueberry Pancakes of Your Dreams are thick, fluffy, and just bursting with fresh blueberries! Delicious with a drizzle of maple syrup or even ice cream! These golden brown blueberry pancakes are the perfect breakfast recipe to whip up this weekend!
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.
Charne says
Hi! I love this recipe! My boyfriend complained when i tried a different one… but can it be made the night before to save time in the morning?
bakerbynature says
Hi Charne. I’m so happy you – and your boyfriend – are loving the recipe! I’ve never tried making the batter the night before, but I think it should work fine. If you try it, I’d love to know how it turns out.
GrannyD says
Hi Charne. Did you ever try making this batter the night before? If so, how did it turn out? They sound delicious, but too time consuming for my busy mornings.
Liz says
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.
Dami says
Just made these for dinner…lol yeah dinner! THEY. WERE. AMAZING!!!! My boyfriend is not a fan of blueberries, so could i make these the same way but leave out the blueberries?
bakerbynature says
So happy to hear it, Dami. I love pancakes for dinner – or brinner, as we call it 😉 I think this recipe should work OK without the blueberries, though I can’t say for sure as I’ve never tried. Please let me know if you try!
Natalie says
i made these this morning. Phenomenal!
bakerbynature says
That’s awesome, Natalie! So happy you enjoyed them 🙂
Donne Roma says
That looks delicious!
Sarah says
These are amazing! So fluffy and incredibly delicious. My boyfriend normally hates pancakes and now he’s begging me to make them again!
bakerbynature says
Awwww yay! Thank you for letting me know, Sarah. And so happy your boyfriend is finally a pancake fan 🙂
jessica says
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 =)
bakerbynature says
Hi Jessica! I hope you had a great 4th of July 🙂
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.
Have a great day!
Monica says
hi! I have dried blueberries as we dont have fresh in Venezuela. What would you suggest to do with them before adding them to the mix?
Thanks! Want to make them tomorrow for fathers day here!
bakerbynature says
Hi Monica. I’ve never attempted this recipe with dried blueberries, so I can’t say too much on that adaption. Do you have frozen blueberries?
Destiny says
Made these this morning after my son requested blueberry pie for breakfast. They were delicious and he was very happy!
Maria says
We just made these and they were fantastic! They are fluffy, not overly sweet and delicious. These will be added to my weekend breakfast rotation. The recipe only yielded 7 small pancakes in my case but that is plenty in my household.
bakerbynature says
Hi Maria! YAY 🙂 So happy you enjoyed this pancake recipe – they are my favorite! P.S. The recipe can easily be double if you ever need a bigger batch.
