Sour Cream Blueberry Pancakes are supremely fluffy and loaded with plump juicy blueberries. Homemade pancakes are easy and so much better than any store-bought pancake mix.

Blueberry Pancake Recipe:

Pancakes are good at bringing people together. I love mornings where we can all sit down together and enjoy the same simple and delicious breakfast. The best thing about this recipe is how quick it is to make. Breakfast will be on the table in less than 30 minutes.

Ingredients for Homemade Pancakes:

All you need to make homemade pancakes are basic pantry staples that you probably already have such as flour, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, baking powder, and soda, along with some refrigerator staples like milk, sour cream, and eggs.

Pancake ingredients: flour, sugar, egg, milk, vanilla, salt, baking powder, baking soda, sour cream, blueberries in bowls/cups

The Secret to Fluffy Pancakes:

These easy homemade pancakes have just the right ingredients to make them nice and fluffy. We use both baking soda and baking powder. The sour cream in this recipe activates the baking soda and the baking powder helps it rise. Perfect for making the fluffiest pancakes.

Common Questions:

  • Can I use frozen blueberries instead? Frozen blueberries work great in this recipe. You can substitute raspberries or frozen raspberries as well. 
  • How do I know when to flip pancakes? Pancakes are ready to flip after about 2 minutes on each side. You’ll know it’s time to flip when you see bubbles form at the top and the bottom edges browning. If they brown too quickly, reduce the heat. You want them golden brown on each side and fluffy.
  • Can I substitute the sour cream? Yes. You can use full-fat Greek yogurt or regular vanilla yogurt.

How to Make Blueberry Pancakes:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate large bowl, whisk together wet ingredients: milk, sour cream, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla. Combine dry and wet ingredients and fold together. Then fold in blueberries until dispursed.
  3.  Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add butter or oil. Once it’s hot spoon batter into the pan. Saute 2 minutes per side or until golden brown on each side and fluffy.

Tips for Success:

  • Let them cool down a little before serving. The blueberry juice can get very hot. 
  • If pancakes brown too quickly, reduce the heat to allow a full 2 minutes per side.
  • I love the lighter flavor of extra light olive oil to saute.
  • The best way to reheat leftovers is to pop them in the toaster. They are just as delicious as the day you made them.
  • Use an ice cream scooper for even-sized pancakes.

A great tip: an ice cream scoop full of batter; even sized pancakes in a pan

What Goes With Blueberry Pancakes:

One thing we love about making these pancakes is how many different toppings go well with them. Here are some of our favorites:

    Tried them today, they were excellent! Reminds me of my Ukrainian dad who made pancakes, he used buttermilk in his, but I love this recipe. Thanks for all your great recipes.

    Can you add raw kefir instead of sour cream? I’m wondering if it’ll taste similar.

      Hi Natalie, I haven’t tested that but I think it would work and still taste good. You may not need quite as much so you don’t thin out the batter too much since kefir is quite a bit thinner than sour cream.

      Hi Anya, the only pancake batter that I have made ahead is one with yeast as a leavening agent. I would suggest using this batter once it is made since you will have activated the baking soda and I’m not sure it would rise as well if you wait awhile. If you wanted to make it ahead, the best way would be to combine the dry ingredients in 1 bowl and the wet in another and refrigerate wet ingredients covered. Combine the two mixtures just before making the pancakes.

      Oh no! That’s definitely not normal. Did you possibly switch the baking soda and baking powder in the recipe? There is enough sour cream to activate the baking soda, canceling out any baking soda flavor in this recipe. I hope that helps!

    I made this in the morning and LOVED how fluffy a pancake can be! I also substituted the sour cream for plain Greek yogurt. Mine only yielded 15. Maybe, I made them bigger 🙂 THANK YOU!

      I think I do make my pancakes a little smaller than traditional size pancakes. It’s probably because my Mom makes them that way. 🙂 Thank you for another awesome review!

          Sorry, we were camping and I didn’t have much time to answer; I’m not sure how I missed the second question. These are way faster to make since you don’t have to wait an hour or two for the batter to rise. These are easier so it’s just a matter of which ones you have more time for.
