Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes

Ingredients

• All-purpose flour (1 cup)
• Baking powder (2 teaspoons)
• Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
• Granulated sugar (2 tablespoons)
• Egg (1, beaten)
• Milk (3/4 cup)
• Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
• Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
• Fresh blueberries (1 cup)
• Butter (for greasing)
• Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
6. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
8. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with a pat of butter and a generous drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy!
