Key Substances
- Blueberries: I fortunately use contemporary or frozen blueberries for this recipe. When utilizing frozen, I particularly love the smaller wild blueberries.
- Flour: I’ve used all-purpose (plain) flour to make the pancakes in my pictures. For extra entire grains, you should utilize entire wheat flour. After I use entire wheat, I am going for a 50:50 mix of entire wheat to all-purpose, in order that they keep good and fluffy (I clarify why in my recipe for whole wheat pancakes). For gluten-free pancakes, swap in your favourite gluten-free flour mix or attempt buckwheat flour (see my recipe for buckwheat pancakes).
- Sugar: I take advantage of granulated sugar, however brown sugar, coconut sugar, and honey work nicely. You can even combine in a little bit mashed banana as I did in my banana pancakes.

In case you solely have baking powder in your kitchen, I’ve given instructions under for substituting it within the recipe under. You too can use buttermilk as an alternative choice to the milk after which pass over the acid (lemon juice/vinegar), identical to when making buttermilk pancakes.
- Butter: I add melted butter to the batter to get that melt-in-your-mouth texture. In case you don’t eat butter, you should utilize melted vegan butter or coconut oil, which does style wonderful with the blueberries.
- Egg: The egg provides construction and helps to make my pancakes mild and fluffy. If you don’t cook dinner with eggs and wish to make vegan blueberry pancakes, you’ll be able to substitute a flax egg or depart it out.
- Vanilla and Salt: Vanilla extract and salt make these so scrumptious. You’ll be able to experiment with different extracts, too. I notably love a tiny splash of almond extract, which works so properly in these blueberry pancakes.
Learn how to Make the Finest Blueberry Pancakes
