There is nothing quite like a stack of warm lemon blueberry pancakes to make your weekend morning feel special. These cakes are tender, airy, and packed with fresh flavor. I started making this recipe after a fun day of picking berries in Michigan, and they have been a family favorite ever since.

Using Greek yogurt in the batter is my secret for keeping them extra creamy and tangy without needing buttermilk. My best advice for the perfect pancake is to keep your heat steady on medium low so they cook through perfectly without burning on the outside.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil or olive oil
  • 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    In a separate bowl, stir together the milk, Greek yogurt, egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and oil until smooth.

  3. 3

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as a few small lumps are perfectly fine.

  4. 4

    Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium low heat and grease it lightly with oil or butter.

  5. 5

    Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle.

  6. 6

    Immediately place a small handful of blueberries onto the wet batter of each pancake.

  7. 7

    Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook for another minute or two until golden brown.

💡 Tips

Serve these warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of blueberry compote, or a spoonful of sweetened Greek yogurt. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days or freeze them for up to three months. To reheat, simply pop them in your toaster or toaster oven until warmed through.
