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
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries into the batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
