Lemon Soufflé Pancakes with Blueberry Maple Syrup – a pancake recipe you CANNOT miss out on!
Pancakes are always so comforting and remind me of home and weekend mornings. My mom is the master of buttermilk pancakes, and when we stumbled across this recipe we HAD to make it.
I think most people would agree with me about loving a fluffy pancake…and boy are these fluffy. There is something magical about adding buttermilk into pancakes that makes little pillows of heaven. Then adding in the slight flavor of lemon with a sweetness of blueberry makes for a perfect pancake. You might be thinking…pancakes are fattening and not a smart breakfast option. Well, try not to make these pancakes the star of your meal. Enjoy 1-2 with some fresh fruit and a boiled egg. Balance out your meal instead of making pancakes the entire breakfast. Also, try your best not to skip out on breakfast! Studies show breakfast eaters have a healthier weight/lower BMI (body mass index), more energy, and an enhanced performance. Some feel eating breakfast is such a chore, but the main point of eating something in the morning is to “break the fast.” You have just slept for maybe 7 hours and your body needs fuel to get going.
Back to the pancakes…you must try these out! I could not resist munching on these blueberries when making these. So fresh and flavorful! Not to mention they are loaded with antioxidants and are heart healthy.

PIN this recipe for later!
Can’t go wrong with pancakes on the weekend – probably my favourite breakfast! I like to put my blueberries in the pancake batter and then serve with greek yoghurt on the side, but like your idea of making a sauce!
Hello,
If I made the batter the night before would it be just as good first thing in the morning, or would I need to make it fresh in the morning? Thanks
Hi – I would try to make them fresh in the morning because the leavening agents start working right when they come in contact with the wet ingredients. Hope you like them! 🙂
These are so fluffy looking! YUMMY!
Thank you! They’re the fluffiest!! <3
OMG these look amazing! I haven’t made pancakes in too long that needs to change
Thank you so much! I’ve been making them too often lately 😉
These pancakes would make an awesome holiday breakfast!
