Let’s Make Blueberry Pancakes with Chocolate Ganache & Berry Sauce

Step 1: Make the Pancake Batter

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay!
4. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.

Step 2: Cook the Pancakes
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
6. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2 minutes.
7. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Ganache
8. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over low heat until warm but not boiling.
9. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips and butter until smooth and glossy.

Step 4: Make the Berry Sauce
10. In another saucepan, combine mixed berries, sugar, lemon juice, and water.
11. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.

Step 5: Assemble and Serve
12. Stack the pancakes on a plate. Drizzle with rich chocolate ganache and top with warm berry sauce.
13. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

• Add a dollop of whipped cream or Greek yogurt.
• Sprinkle with chopped nuts for extra crunch.
• Serve with a side of crispy bacon or eggs for a complete breakfast.

Tips for Perfect Pancakes

• Don’t overmix the batter; this keeps the pancakes light and fluffy.
• Use fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, do not thaw).
• Cook on medium heat to prevent burning while ensuring even cooking.
• Warm your ganache slightly before serving for a smooth drizzle.

Storing and Reheating

• Refrigerate leftover pancakes in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freeze by placing pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transferring them to a freezer bag.
• Reheat in a toaster or skillet over low heat until warm.

FAQs

Can I use whole wheat flour?
Yes! Swap half of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat for a healthier version.

What if I don’t have heavy cream for the ganache?
You can use milk and a little butter, but the ganache may be slightly thinner.

Can I make the berry sauce ahead of time?
Absolutely! Store it in the fridge for up to 5 days and reheat before serving.
