These fluffy buttermilk pancakes are bursting with juicy blueberries and topped with a salty-sweet maple bacon crumble, making for a quick, easy, and indulgent breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) buttermilk, room temperature
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus more for skillet)
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Maple Bacon Crumble: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until crisp, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  2. Drain excess grease on paper towels, then chop the bacon into small pieces.
  3. Drizzle the chopped bacon with maple syrup and toss gently to coat. Set aside.
  4. Make the Pancake Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. A few lumps are okay—do not overmix.
  7. Fold in the blueberries carefully to avoid breaking them.
  8. Cook the Pancakes: Heat the skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush lightly with butter.
  9. Pour about ¼ cup (60 ml) of batter per pancake onto the skillet, leaving space between each.
  10. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  11. Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  12. Transfer to a warm plate and cover loosely with foil while you finish the rest.
  13. Assemble and Serve: Stack the pancakes, then sprinkle generously with the maple bacon crumble on top.
  14. Serve immediately with extra maple syrup if desired.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Use room temperature ingredients for better texture. Toss blueberries in a bit of flour before folding in to prevent sinking. Keep pan temperature medium to avoid burning. Maple bacon crumble is best cooked fresh but can be stored separately and reheated.
