How to Serve Blueberry Pancakes
Serve your blueberry pancakes warm right off the griddle. You can drizzle them with maple syrup, add a dollop of whipped cream, or sprinkle some powdered sugar on top. For an extra treat, serve with fresh blueberries on the side.
How to Store Blueberry Pancakes
If you have leftover pancakes, you can store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just place them in an airtight container. If you want to keep them longer, freeze them. Place parchment paper between the pancakes and store them in a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
Tips to Make Blueberry Pancakes
- Make sure your pan is hot enough before pouring the batter.
- Don’t overmix the batter; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor, but frozen work in a pinch. Just thaw them first!
Variation
You can add other fruits like strawberries or bananas, or try adding a dash of cinnamon for a different flavor. For a healthier version, use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
