Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole grain flour
- 1 cup kefir
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
Directions:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix the kefir and oil together until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, making sure not to smash them.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet on medium heat.

- Serve warm with maple syrup or your favorite toppings.
How to Serve Fluffy Blueberry Kefir Pancakes
These pancakes are best served fresh off the skillet. Stack them high on a plate and drizzle with maple syrup, or add a dollop of yogurt on top. Fresh fruits or nuts also make a great addition!
How to Store Fluffy Blueberry Kefir Pancakes
If you have leftovers (though they might not last long!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in the toaster or microwave for a quick breakfast treat!
Tips to Make Fluffy Blueberry Kefir Pancakes
- Don’t overmix the batter. It’s fine if there are a few lumps!
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor, but frozen ones work too.
- For a bit of extra sweetness, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter.
Variation
You can easily switch up these pancakes by adding chocolate chips instead of blueberries, or try adding chopped nuts for a crunchier texture. You can also use buttermilk instead of kefir if you don’t have it on hand.
