Weekend breakfasts are our favorite around here! As much as we love french toast bakes –> Blueberry, Strawberry, Mixed Berry French Toast anyone?  Nothing beats our love for a full stack of pancakes on a lazy Sunday.

They really are a magical thing. Sort of like having soft and fluffy cake for breakfast and the most perfect way to start the weekend.

WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED TO MAKE FLUFFY BLUEBERRY PANCAKES?

For this blueberry lemon pancake batter recipe, you’re going to need:

Dry ingredients:

• all purpose flour
• baking powder
• baking sode
• fine sea salt
• granulated sugar

Wet ingredients

• eggs
• lemon juice / lemon zest
• vanilla
• milk / buttermilk / almond milk / cashew milk / coconut milk
• oil / butter / ghee

Greek yogurt – this is my secret ingredient for making super fluffy pancakes. Have you ever noticed that many of the best pancake recipes call for buttermilk? Most people (including myself) do not have buttermilk at home so I like to add Greek yogurt for the fluffiest pancakes.

Additional spices flavorings:

• cinnamon

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST FLUFFY BLUEBERRY PANCAKES:

This recipe starts off with my favorite melt-in-your mouth pancake base and come together in no time flat. Plus, they’re made a little bit healthier since I love swapping in white whole wheat flour for all purpose. It helps to add a touch of fiber without the husband or kids noticing a difference in taste.

The pancakes cook up super fluffy and thick from the Greek yogurt and are bursting with fresh, plump berries and a light lemony flavor in every bite. If you’re a fan of Blueberry Pancakes with Ricotta Cheese, then you definitely have to give these a try.

CAN I USE FRESH OR FROZEN BLUEBERRIES FOR FLUFFY BLUEBERRY PANCAKES?

If you are using frozen blueberries, thaw them slightly and toss in a light coating of flour. Then sprinkle them evenly on top of the pancakes when they start cooking – this helps to prevent purple pancakes 🙂

Serve them plain or drizzle them with a good dose of maple syrup – either way, it’s what weekend dreams are made of.

Just grab your fork and dig in ♥

Servings: 12 pancakes

Calories: 116 kcal

Ingredients

• 2 cups white whole wheat flour or all purpose flour
• 5 Tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1-1/4 cups Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup milk
• 2 large eggs , lightly beaten
• 1-1/3 cups fresh or slightly thawed frozen blueberries coated with a 2 tablespoons of flour*
• Griddle

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

2. In a separate medium bowl, add the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and milk and whisk until smooth. Slowly beat in eggs until combined.
   

3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix as this will result in flat / less fluffy pancakes. Allow batter to rest while you preheat your griddle or pan.
   

4. Preheat a griddle or a large non-stick skillet on medium heat. Grease with non-stick cooking spray or melted butter.
   

5. Scoop 1/4 cup batter onto the preheated pan. If the batter is too thick, flatten pancakes with your spatula. Press fresh or frozen blueberries into the pancake batter. When bubbles begin to appear on the surface, flip carefully and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes until browned on the underside.

6. Transfer to a baking sheet or platter and keep in a warm oven until ready to serve.
7. Serve with maple syrup and extra blueberries, if desired.
