Ingredients
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- Syrup for serving (optional, but let’s be honest, it’s highly recommended!)
Steps to Pancake Perfection
Ready? Let’s dive into this delightful dish without further ado!
- Preheat your oven: Set it to 350°F (175°C). Get that cozy heat rolling.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine buttermilk, melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until it’s all blended smoothly. Kind of like a hug in a bowl, right?
- Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Sprinkle this dry mix into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. A few lumps are okay—let’s not overdo it, we want fluffy fluffiness!
- Add those blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries. You want them to stay as whole as possible, much like our hopes for the family brunch not descending into chaos!
- Pour and bake: Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
- Let it rest: Patience, my friend! Let it cool slightly before slicing it into squares. This will help it hold together, plus it keeps the kiddos from burning their mouths (not that we all haven’t done it before!).
- Serve with syrup: Top with syrup to your heart’s content. Voilà! Your blueberry pancake dreams have come true.

Cooking Tips
Just like life, cooking has its little surprises, so here are some tips to ensure smooth sailing:
- Don’t fret if your batter seems thick—the melted butter will work its magic in the oven!
- Remember, fresh blueberries are king, but frozen will still do the trick! Just don’t defrost them beforehand—trust me, you want those little juicy explosions.
- If you want a nutty twist, throw in some walnuts or pecans; they’ll give you that extra crunch.
