Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup plain yogurt (Greek or regular; see Alternatives)
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted and slightly cooled (or neutral oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (or half whole-wheat, half all-purpose)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda (helps with tangy yogurt lift)
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if frozen)
  • Butter or oil for the pan
  • Optional toppings: maple syrup, honey (for kids over 1), yogurt, extra berries, or a dusting of cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Warm the pan: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk yogurt, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Combine the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Make the batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry. Stir gently until just combined. A few small lumps are fine; do not overmix.
  5. Add blueberries: Fold in the blueberries with a spatula. If using frozen, keep them in the freezer until the moment you fold them in to reduce color bleeding.
  6. Cook the pancakes: Scoop about 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the hot pan. Cook 2–3 minutes, until bubbles form and the edges look set.
  7. Flip and finish: Flip carefully and cook another 1–2 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Adjust heat if they brown too quickly.
  8. Serve warm: Top with a dollop of yogurt, a drizzle of maple syrup, or extra berries. For toddlers, cut into strips or small squares.
