Cooking Pointers
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries, but if frozen, do not thaw to prevent the batter from turning purple.
- Preheat the skillet well to ensure even cooking and a nice golden color.
- Avoid flipping the pancakes too early; wait until bubbles form and the edges look set.

Why This Dish Is So Special
These pancakes are fluffy and tender with a burst of juicy blueberries in every bite. Cooking them in a skillet gives a golden, slightly crispy edge that adds great texture. They’re a fun twist on classic pancakes that feel homemade and comforting.
Directions
In a bowl, whisk together the pancake mix, water, and eggs until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. It’ll be a bit thin, which is totally fine—set it aside for now. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 425°F and pop two 6- to 8-inch skillets inside to heat up. Once the oven is ready, carefully take out the hot skillets and add 2 tablespoons of butter to each. Toss in a quarter cup of blueberries and stir them around until the butter has melted. Pour about two-thirds of a cup of the batter into each skillet, then slide them back into the oven. Let the pancakes bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown. When they’re done, take them out and let them cool just a bit before digging in.

Perfect Side Pairings
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey. For extra indulgence, add a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Fresh fruit or a side of crispy bacon pairs nicely for a complete breakfast.
Storage Suggestions
Cool the pancakes completely before storing. Keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently in a skillet or microwave to retain softness. You can also freeze cooked pancakes with parchment paper between layers for up to 2 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?

What can I substitute for Krusteaz Protein Buttermilk Pancake Mix?
You can use any buttermilk pancake mix or make your own pancake batter from scratch.
Can I cook these pancakes on the stovetop instead of the oven?
This recipe is designed for the oven and skillets for even cooking, but you can try a low heat on the stovetop with a covered pan.
How do I know when the pancakes are fully cooked?
They should be golden brown on top and firm to the touch after 15 to 20 minutes in the oven.
Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
Use a dairy-free butter substitute and a plant-based milk if your pancake mix requires it.
Is it necessary to preheat the skillets in the oven?
Yes, preheating helps the butter melt evenly and cooks the pancakes properly.
Can I double the recipe for more servings?
Yes, just use larger or more skillets and adjust baking time as needed.
What should I do if my batter is too thin or too thick?
A slightly thin batter is fine, but if too thin, add a bit more pancake mix; if too thick, add a little water.
