Blueberry Explosion Pancakes

Yes, it is no secret that my family adores blueberries and these Blueberry Explosion Pancakes really hit the spot on a relaxing Saturday morning with the family! I am excited to share my recipe with you so let’s get started :)

Blueberry Pancakes 

Ingredients:
makes approximately 10 pancakes
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 TBS sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cup milk or buttermilk ( add a little more if needed)
2 eggs (slightly beaten)
1 tsp vanilla
4 TBS vegetable oil
1 cup of frozen or fresh blueberries

Combine dry ingredients together. Then mix in milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Mix until all lumps are gone and then gently stir in blueberries.

Heat
a lightly greased griddle to medium heat, adjust heat as needed. I use an electric griddle and set the temperature to 350 degrees.  Pour or scoop approximately 1/3 cup of batter onto the griddle, use more or less batter to create your desired size of pancakes. Brown pancake on both sides and serve warm!

Homemade Blueberry Syrup
2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
2 TBS corn starch

On medium low heat cook water, sugar, and cornstarch until thickened. Stir in blueberries and simmer for 10 minutes, stir occasionally. Pour syrup over a warm stack of blueberry pancakes.
