Homemade Blueberry Banana Pancakes

Ready for a new pancake recipe to add to your weekend breakfast routine? Easy to make and delicious, these Blueberry Banana Pancakes are the perfect way to add fruit to breakfast and sneak in those nutrients to get the family going on a hectic day.

I don’t know about you but I grew up on blueberry pancakes for Sunday breakfast. My mom always loved them and so did I. Fresh blueberries are always so sweet and bursting with flavor when they are cooked. Although, I have to admit we were boxed pancake mix people. Once you learn how to make pancakes from scratch, you realize how easy it is. But either way, nothing beats pancakes on a lazy Sunday morning with the family.

Nutrition Tip: The blueberry might as well be referred to as the ‘Queen of Antioxidants,’ as these tiny fruits contain the highest antioxidant concentration of all other common fruits and vegetables.

What we love about these Blueberry Banana Pancakes

  • Made from scratch
  • Loaded with fresh bananas and blueberries
  • Simple ingredients from pantry staples
  • Easy to make

So these Blueberry Banana Pancakes are made from scratch, but if you want to just spruce up your boxed mix, that is fine too! We went a little above and beyond by adding some caramel and pecans for a flavor explosion! And if you really want to make it a fun morning, then have the kids help in the kitchen. They can mix, add the fruit, and help cook the pancakes as well.

Now you know by now that we love cooking and baking with fresh produce when available. Blueberries are loaded with anti-oxidants, fiber, potassium, and Vitamins. They even contain many properties that are known to help our brain function and memory! So grab some fresh blueberries (or frozen will work for this recipe, too) and enjoy these pancakes.

How to make Blueberry and Banana Pancakes from Scratch

Sift both of the flours, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon and salt in a large mixing bowl. Then add the milk, oil and egg, and mix until moistened.

Next heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and spray with some cooking spray. Spoon ¼ cup of the pancake mixture onto the skillet.

Add in the sliced bananas and blueberries, and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until pancakes begin to bubble. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until done.

Top with pecans and drizzle with caramel dip and enjoy!
