Blueberry Pancakes with Maple Syrup

Blueberry Pancakes with Maple Syrup

Now, as the early morning light filters through the kitchen window, there’s something deeply comforting about the thought of blueberry pancakes. The way the berries burst under the heat, mingling with the sweet maple syrup, creates a melody of flavors that feels like a gentle hug.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (for a lighter texture, sift before using)
  • 1 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tsp baking powder (ensure it’s fresh for maximum rise)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (fine sea salt blends best)
  • 1 cup milk (whole milk adds richness)
  • 1 large egg (room temperature mixes more evenly)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (or any neutral oil)
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (frozen can be used, do not thaw)
  • Maple syrup, for serving (warm slightly for a more aromatic experience)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. In another bowl, beat the milk, egg, and melted butter together until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. A few lumps are okay; overmixing leads to tough pancakes.
  4. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat (350°F if using an electric griddle) and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve warm with maple syrup drizzled on top.

The pancakes emerge fluffy and golden, with pockets of juicy blueberries that offer a sweet contrast to the rich maple syrup. For an extra touch of indulgence, top with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar before serving.

Ingredients

  • 4 slices of thick-cut bread (day-old works best for absorption)

  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar (adjust to sweetness preference)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (freshly ground offers a more vibrant flavor)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (pure extract for the best aroma)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (or any neutral oil for frying)

Instructions

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp butter, softened (for the cinnamon filling)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (packed for richness)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  2. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
  4. While the batter rests, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl to create the cinnamon filling.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat (350°F) and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Immediately spoon small dollops of the cinnamon filling onto the wet batter.
  7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes, then flip carefully to cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  8. Repeat with the remaining batter and filling, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.

Velvety and rich, these pancakes marry the fluffy texture of traditional pancakes with the sweet, spiced swirl of a cinnamon roll. Serve them stacked high with a drizzle of cream cheese glaze or a simple dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch of indulgence.
