Light and fluffy Lemon Blueberry Pancakes that can be whipped up quickly, with basic pantry ingredients. 
I believe the best way to kick off the weekend is with a great breakfast, like pancakes, a killer batch of Biscuits and Gravy, or Eggs Benedict. These are all “breakfast for dinner” favorites at our house as well.

I cringe when people use powdered mixes to make pancakes because seriously, homemade pancakes are SOO easy and SOO much better! These Lemon Blueberry Pancakes have the perfect amount of mild sweetness, great flavor, and fluffy texture.

How to make Lemon Blueberry Pancakes:

  • Heat skillet over medium low heat.
  • In a mixing bowl stir together buttermilk, baking soda, and juice and zest of lemon. Add egg, vanilla, and melted butter and stir to combine.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl stir together flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar.
  • Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir just until combined. There may be some lumps–don’t over-mix the batter. (Add a little splash of buttermilk if the mixture is too thick). Gently stir in blueberries.

  • Grease skillet with a little butter or non-stick cooking spray. Use a ¼ measuring cup to spoon the batter onto the hot greased pan. Cook until bubbles come to the surface and the bottom of the pancakes are golden. Flip to the other side and cook until golden.
  • Serve with your favorite pancake syrup, and fresh blueberries on top, if desired.

Freezing Instructions:

Allow the pancakes to cool, then lay on a baking sheet and flash freeze them, uncovered, for 30 minutes (flash freezing them first prevents them from sticking together once frozen) Transfer partially frozen pancakes to a freezer safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3-4 months. For best results, reheat in a warm oven, or toaster over. Reheating in the microwave on defrost for a few seconds will also work.

  2. 5 stars
    LOVE this recipe! It was easy to make and the pancakes were delicious. This recipe makes a BIG batch, so I especially appreciate the instructions for freezing them.

    To the reviewers who said that the batter is too runny…I am thinking that they did not follow the recipe. The batter I made was the perfect consistency.
