Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1-2 tablespoons milk (for thinning the drizzle)

How to Make Blueberry Pancakes with Creamy Drizzle

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries into the batter.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
7. While the pancakes are cooking, prepare the cream cheese drizzle. In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until combined. Add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to reach your desired drizzle consistency.
8. Stack the pancakes on a plate, drizzle with the cream cheese glaze, and top with additional blueberries. Serve warm.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your baking powder is fresh for the fluffiest pancakes.
• Avoid overmixing the batter; this can lead to dense pancakes.
• If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk to achieve your preferred consistency.
• Keep pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you finish cooking the rest.

Easy Variations

• Replace blueberries with other fruits like strawberries, raspberries, or bananas for a different flavor.
• Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter for a refreshing citrus twist.
• For a healthier version, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory contrast.
• A side of fresh fruit salad for added freshness.
• Maple syrup or honey for drizzling on top.
• A dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
