Quick, wholesome, and freezer-friendly whole wheat blueberry pancakes that are fluffy and perfect for busy mornings or surprise guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (180 g) whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) milk (whole or 2%, or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 1/4 cup (60 g) plain yogurt (or Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh blueberries (frozen works too, do not thaw)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar until evenly distributed.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg with milk, plain yogurt, vanilla extract, and melted unsalted butter until combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined; batter should be a little lumpy.
  4. Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, trying not to break them up. If using frozen blueberries, toss them with a teaspoon of flour before folding in.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small pat of butter, swirling to coat the surface.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup (60 ml) batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Flip carefully and cook the other side for 1.5-2 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Serve immediately or cool pancakes on a baking sheet before freezing with parchment paper between layers in an airtight container or bag.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use room temperature eggs and milk for better batter blending. When using frozen blueberries, toss them with flour before folding in to prevent sinking. Cool pancakes completely before freezing and layer with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Reheat frozen pancakes in a toaster or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel to keep moist.
