    You'll love the taste of these easy Blackberry Pancakes made from scratch! They're light and super-fluffy, with bursts of flavor from the blackberries.

    I adore the contrast between the light and fluffy pancakes, with their tender inside and slightly crispy exterior, and the pops of color and taste from the blackberries.

    It's bliss. Breakfast bliss. What a way to start the day.

    Want to serve them in a super special way? Add them to a Pancake Board (breakfast charcuterie platter). Pile them high with fruit and toppings.

    This Blackberry Pancake recipe is super easy to whip up with just a few affordable ingredients and minimal prep. Plus, it comes together in under 15 minutes.

    They're a quick and easy breakfast and a great way to use up seasonal berries. And let me just say it again: they're SOOOOO FLUFFY!

    You can use either fresh or frozen blackberries for this recipe - both work perfectly.

    For extra blackberry flavor, top these pancakes with a dollop of 15 minute Blackberry Compote.

    They're also incredible with maple and cinnamon Fried Bananas.

    Milk - to make these dairy-free, use vegan milk (and butter)
    Butter

    The baking soda, baking powder and vinegar all work together to make these really light and fluffy pancakes. Don't worry, they don't taste vinegary.

    If using frozen blackberries, don't thaw them first.

    When mixing in the blackberries, do it gently so the berries don't break up int the batter.

    You'll know the pancakes are ready to flip when small bubbles appear in the centre.

    Keep pancakes warm while you make more by placing them into a low oven.
