Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (190g)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk (240ml)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (150g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Line your sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cinnamon if using.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients: milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently just until combined; batter should be slightly lumpy but thick enough to hold shape.
  6. Fold in the blueberries carefully to avoid crushing them. If using frozen, do not thaw first.
  7. Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared sheet pan about 1/2 inch thick, smoothing gently with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until edges are golden and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the pancake sheet cool for 5 minutes, then cut into 24 bite-sized squares.
  10. Optional: Drizzle with maple syrup, sprinkle powdered sugar, or add yogurt or whipped cream before serving.

Notes

Use frozen blueberries straight from the freezer without thawing to prevent watery batter. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep bites tender. If the center is undercooked but edges are done, tent loosely with foil and bake 2-3 minutes longer. Let cool slightly before cutting for cleaner squares. For dairy-free, swap butter with coconut oil and milk with plant-based milk. Adding lemon zest or spices like nutmeg can enhance flavor.
