Fluffy blueberry pancakes paired with a sweet strawberry compote that is lightly sweetened with honey, perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (190 g)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups buttermilk (300 ml)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted + extra for the pan
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (150 g)
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered (about 300 g)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons sugar.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk 1 ¼ cups buttermilk, 2 large eggs, and 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter until combined.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a spatula. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Carefully fold 1 cup fresh blueberries into the batter without crushing them.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat and brush lightly with melted butter.
  6. Pour ¼ cup (60 ml) of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear and edges look set. Flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  7. While pancakes cook, combine 2 cups quartered strawberries, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently, for 8-10 minutes until strawberries soften and mixture thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  8. Serve pancakes warm stacked with generous amounts of the sweet strawberry compote on top. Optionally, add powdered sugar or whipped cream.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. Use fresh baking powder for best rise. If compote is too watery, simmer longer; if too thick, add a splash of water or lemon juice. For dairy-free, substitute buttermilk with almond milk plus lemon juice. For gluten-free, use almond flour but expect denser texture.
