Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes
Updated May 16, 2019
Everyone is wondering how we find the time to cook and bake so much. We are not slaves to our kitchen, we just work as a team…four hands are much better than two:) So while I am sifting the dry ingredients, Josh is measuring out the liquids…or while Josh is making the dough, I am working on the sauce, etc. So recipes come together in no time! Josh is my side-kick. We do almost everything together. Being in the kitchen is so fun for us!
So with that said…I had nothing to do with this meal:) It was all Josh. I had to work late so he made me dinner all by his lonesome. He tries to cook for me a lot, but I usually won’t let him because I enjoy helping. I can’t relax if I know he is in the kitchen cooking up a storm. It is not fair to let him have all the fun! But this time I wasn’t home so he surprised me with a terrific meal.
We love having breakfast foods for dinner, sometimes it is too hard to cook a big meal in the mornings…except for on weekends. So when I walked in the door to the smell of pancakes cooking on the griddle, I was very excited. I was even more excited when I saw the plump blueberries inside. YUM!!!
Josh made Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes with the works. He knows I don’t like eggs that much but I do appreciate scrambled egg whites so he made those and some hashbrowns. He also cooked up some sausage for his plate. I don’t eat the stuff.
The meal was very tasty!! I have the greatest husband!!
Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes
1 cup flour (I use half whole wheat)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
Pinch of cinnamon
1 cup buttermilk, plus 2 Tablespoons
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
Optional toppings-syrup, powdered sugar, jam, etc.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, powder, soda, salt, and cinnamon. In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, oil, egg, and vanilla. Pour into flour mixture and stir lightly until just combined. The batter will be lumpy and that is OK! Grease a non-stick skillet and cook pancakes on medium heat. As soon as you pour the batter on the griddle, drop the blueberries on the pancake. Cook until the edges bubble. Flip and cook other side. Serve with syrup, etc. Really any toppings you want!
These look really, really good. I can’t wait to try them. Thanks for sharing.
YUM – those pancakes look fantastically delicious!!! How lovely to have a hubby who enjoys cooking as much as you do! 🙂
I envy all the time you guys DO have time to cook and bake – enjoy it for me!! 🙂
BEYOND phenomenal pancakes!!
Such a lovely surprise from your husband!!
Maria,
I just have to tell you that you have one of my favorite blogs. I love your recipes and the look of your blog and of course what you write is always interesting as well! I mentioned you in my last post and I’d like you to check it out! 🙂
Nice hubby, lucky girl! And nice pancakes too!
Oh wow these look absolutely delicious!
these look so delicious! i need to try them, that’s great your husband cooked them for you!
We have breakfast for dinner A LOT. In fact, I love a bowl of grits with a fried egg on top!
I wish Brad liked helping in the kitchen. But I can’t complain – he’ll do the dishes!
OOh, I love breakfast for dinner, but it doesn’t work for my husband. When he’s out of town, that’s what I make for myself (or a grilled cheese!)
I’ve got a fun blog award for you – stop by my blog to claim it!

You are lucky to have fun together in the kitchen – kudos to you 🙂

Maria, thanks for visiting my site…I went straight for my favourite pancakes…with blueberries!
My husband just made these for me today for my birthday breakfast in bed – they’re fantastic! They’re the best pancakes he’s ever made – I love the taste of vanilla in them. Great recipe!
Okay so these are officially my favorite pancakes. My hubby made them for me again (for Mother’s Day, from my cats haha) this morning and they’re just SO GOOD! I think maybe it’s the vanilla? In any case, I’ve had many, many pancakes and we’ve tried many recipes, and we’ve made these with both frozen and fresh berries and they’re equally delicious. So I’m officially calling it – these are my favorite pancakes.
Glad you liked the pancakes! They are a favorite at our house too!
I made these for my family this morning. They were delicious but the batter was a little runny and the pancakes flatter than yours look. Could this be because I was out if buttermilk and had to use a substitute? They tasted great though!
