Soft, fluffy, delicious blueberry pie pancakes.
This recipe yields SUPER ginormous pancakes!
Pleasantly Plump. One might use these words to describe the blueberries I recently purchased at Whole Foods. I’m always excited when summer rolls around and organic blueberries no longer cost an arm and a leg. And a pinky toe.
Sadly, the lower prices don’t last forever, and I therefore make it my mission to eat as many blueberries as humanly possible while they’re available! If you end up in a similar situation, with extra blueberries to use up, be sure to browse the recipes in the link below:
Today, however, I wasn’t feeling the muffin vibe.
And so I spent the entirety of my run dreaming up new ways to incorporate blueberries into breakfast. Finally, I settled upon blueberry pie pancakes. Just think about it for a second… blueberry pie in pancake form.
How could you possibly top that?!
These blueberry pie pancakes are ginormous… Seriously, the fattest pancakes ever!

These pancakes are a must-try!
Blueberry Pie Pancakes
Blueberry Pie Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/3 cup flour (ww pastry, white, spelt, or Bob’s gluten-free)
- 2 tbsp rolled oats
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2/3 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp sugar or 1 packet stevia
- 1/3 cup milk of choice
- Unless you like the taste of fat-free pancakes, add 1 tbsp oil and reduce milk by that amount.
Instructions
Combine dry ingredients in a bowl, then add wet. Mix, but don’t overmix. Cook on an oiled (or sprayed) pan, on low-medium, flipping each pancake once. Top with syrup, powdered sugar, or Cashew Cream. Or you could even boil some more blueberries (with a bit of sugar, if you wish), and smash them, to make a compote.

can i use frozen blueberries?
I used frozen blueberries. Just make sure to let them thaw at room temperature so that they keep their form.
These are excellent! I made them for my husband and myself this weekend. He put syrup on them but I ate them plain; they really don’t need anything on them.
I used a combination of spelt, barley and white whole wheat flour and almond/coconut milk- they turned out perfect.
I made these this morning and they were awesome. The dry-to-wet ratio was off (maybe because I used skim milk…or maybe because I grew up with slightly more watery pancakes), so I added a bit of water.
[I’v also had issues in the past with my whole wheat flour so that could be it too]
I used half a batch for one pancake (seriously, the one made me full) and put whipped cream & some more cinnamon on it. Much more filling, tasty and HEALTHY than those box pancakes. And oh my goodness, they live up to their name:
mmmmm pie……
This was also the first recipe I didn’t scale down and followed almost completely. I didn’t put salt or sugar in because too much salt makes me dizzy, and I always use cinnamon to balance any tartness in fruit.
Maybe in the future I won’t add the water and see how it goes, and/or use 1% milk instead. The best part is that I licked the whisk and IT WAS OKAY because there’s no raw egg.
I saw that someone put that this was about 290 Calories. That sounds about right if you count the nutrition info of fruit and if you don’t use skim.
With whole wheat flour, skim milk, quick-cook rolled oats, and NO sugar or salt, my [rounded] breakdown was:

Katie, thank you for this. What a wonderful start to the day.
Awesome pancakes! Have become a weekend favorite. Tried with blackberries as well and delicious!
How many calories is this about?
See comment two above yours 😉
KAAAATTTIIIEEEE!!!! SOOO GOOD! I kind of used inspiration from this and some of your pancake recipes including oats and mashed banana, and came out with something so good I can’t believe it!
I used 1/3 cup WW flour (not pastry), 1/4 cup quick oats, 1/2 tsp. baking powder, pinch sea salt (don’t know if the salt really made any diff), 1/2 large banana – mashed, 1/4 cup chocolate flavored unsweetened Almond breeze (I would have used plain or vanilla, but chocolate was the box I had open in the fridge), bit less than 1/2 tsp tahitian vanilla, blueberries and RASPBERRIES!!! Oh the raspberries are just the best!! They get all jammy! They were so good the only thing I would change about them was the fact that it only made 2 medium size pancakes…. and I didn’t find them particularly filling – but even so…. AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS… and the thick chewy texture, to die for…. I don’t understand the whole “fluffy” pancake thing….
Next time I think I am going to try using shredded apple, and plan on grinding some different whole grains to make my own flour.
And would you believe that these are the first pancakes I have eaten in about 7 years?! Crazy right! Stupid eating disorder had me so scared of all the calories in them (at least, relative to the small volume of food, when compared to what you can get in things like voluminous oats!) But I am trying to fight the fear cause I know I have to gain some weight really badly, so now I am letting myself try things like this. I still prefer to go for more volume…. this just means lots and LOTS of volume for me now!!
Thank you sooooo much for all these recipes!! You are an oatmeal angel in my eyes!
Aw thanks, Nikki!
These look wonderful! We made a similar recipe via strawberry & banana pancakes over the weekend… our son’s favorites… and they were simply devine! To top it off from a slightly healthier but delicious aspect we spread a dollop of vanilla yogurt w/ fresh strawberries on top and this has became our staple! My hubby and I both love to cook & enjoy changing up recipes. Thanks!
Hey Katie! Can’t wait to try these pancakes this week! Is there anyway you could come up with a Costco poppy seed muffin pancake recipe? I haven’t had one in SO long because of all the calories in them! If anyone can come up with a recipe that taste just like them, it’s you!! Hope to hear back from you!
These look delicious! I can’t wait to try them out! What kind of “flour” did you use for the recipe??
These were really good as per the recipe, I had them as a night time snack. I can’t wait to play around with these and see what comes of them. Well, on to the next recipe I suppose.
Wow, why’d I take so long to find these?? They were amazing! It was like eating dessert for lunch. Thanks for a great recipe!
