Can I use frozen blueberries to make buttermilk blueberry pancakes
Yes, you can although for me personally fresh blueberries yield better results. Frozen blueberries are more likely to form clusters once you add them into the batter. I find fresh blueberries easier to work with in this recipe.
Equipment you’ll need
- Kitchen scale/measuring cup and spoons
- 2 large bowls, whisk and large spoon
- Large pan and spatula

Top tips for making whole wheat blueberry pancakes
- Blueberries: You can use either fresh or frozen blueberries although frozen can clump together in the batter so fresh are easier to work with. I used fresh blueberries to make these pancakes.
- Pancake Batter: It is important not to overstir the batter as the pancakes may be a little dense. Stop stirring once all the ingredients have been incorporated.
- How to fry the pancakes: Fry these pancakes in 1 tablespoon of oil over a low heat for about 4 minutes (so they cook inside without getting too brown) then turn over and cook for approx. 3 more minutes or until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- Best served immediately. Leftover pancakes can be refrigerated, covered, for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave.
