Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Preparation
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350º F (175º C) and lightly grease an 8 or 9-inch square baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups of flour, baking powder, and salt. This step helps ensure even distribution of the leavening agents, resulting in a fluffy texture.
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and lemon zest until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter mixture, beating until fully blended.
Combine Ingredients: Gradually alternate adding the buttermilk and the flour mixture to the creamed butter, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bake light and airy.
Fold in Blueberries: Toss the blueberries in the remaining 1/4 cup of flour to prevent them from sinking in the batter. Gently fold them into the batter.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of sugar over the surface for a sweet, crisp finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool before slicing and serving. This helps the flavors settle and makes it easier to cut.
Bonus Tip
For an extra touch of indulgence, drizzle a simple glaze over the cooled bake. Combine 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of milk, mix until smooth, and drizzle over the top.
Conclusion
This Blueberry Muffin Pancake Bake is an easy and delicious way to elevate your breakfast game. Blending the best of muffins and pancakes, it delivers a moist, flavorful treat bursting with fresh blueberries. Whether you’re serving a crowd or looking for a quick breakfast option, this recipe is sure to impress. Enjoy the sweet, tangy flavor and fluffy texture with every bite—your mornings just got a lot more delicious!
