How to make apple pancakes with blueberries
Simple steps to prepare these fruit-filled pancakes.
Quick overview
- Add grated apple and blueberries to the pancake batter.
- Heat butter in a skillet, griddle, or cast-iron pan over medium heat and cook pancakes until golden.
- Finish cooking all pancakes, adding butter between batches as needed.
- Serve warm with maple syrup and fresh fruit.
Detailed steps
- Prepare the batter: Follow the package directions for your pancake mix (this amount makes about 8–10 pancakes). No need to change liquid amounts to account for the fruit.
- Add blueberries: Fold fresh blueberries into the batter.
- Add grated apple: Peel and grate about half an apple, then mix it into the batter.
- Cook pancakes: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add about 1 tablespoon of butter; when melted, pour batter into the pan in your preferred sizes. Flip when bubbles form on the surface and the bottom is golden. Cook until both sides are browned and the pancake is cooked through.
- Finish and serve: Continue making pancakes, adding butter as needed to prevent sticking and add flavor. Serve with maple syrup and fresh strawberries or other fruit. Note: blueberries inside pancakes can get very hot—let them cool slightly before serving.
FAQs
Can you use this recipe for German pancakes / Dutch babies?
Yes. Dutch babies and German pancakes typically use a thinner batter. If you want that style, use your preferred Dutch baby batter and fold in grated apple before baking.
