If you’re craving vegan pancakes, then you must try these super easy vegan blueberry pancakes. They use just 6 ingredients, and take only 5 minutes to make for the perfect, super fluffy and light blueberry pancakes for your weekend morning vegan breakfast or brunch!

Easily made gluten free with a few different flour options, these vegan pancakes are perfect when topped with some homemade coconut whipped cream, fresh blueberries, and a drizzle of maple syrup. Let’s make them!

Just 7 Ingredients & Substitutions

• All purpose flour: You can substitute in gluten-free flour (see my recommendations in the next section, as not all gluten-free flours work here!). I personally recommend Bob’s Red Mill in the blue bag or oat flour.
• Granulated sugar: You can swap in coconut sugar for refined sugar free!
• Vegan buttermilk: This is just a combination of soy milk or almond milk with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. It’s ready to use instantly for this!
• Baking powder: We won’t need any baking soda here- just baking powder to help the pancakes rise!
• Dairy free yogurt or unsweetened applesauce: Either option works here. You can use your favorite yogurt too. I don’t recommend flaxseed, as the best taste and texture is with either applesauce or dairy free yogurt!
• Vanilla extract: For flavor!
• Fresh blueberries: You can also substitute in frozen blueberries if that’s what you have on hand!

Overview: How To Make Vegan Blueberry Pancakes in just one bowl

For the full written instructions and ingredient measurements, see the bottom of this post in the recipe card. You can also hit the “jump to recipe” button at the top of this post! Here, we’ll go over a brief overview of the steps, along with providing visuals for a better understanding of the recipe.

1. Whisk the wet ingredients. This is your vegan buttermilk, applesauce, and vanilla extract.
2. Add in the dry. This is your flour, sugar, and baking powder. Whisk ALMOST until the flour is incorporated. 
3. Fold in the blueberries: Mix just until the blueberries are evenly distributed throughout the batter, and make sure there are still clumps in the batter. You DON’T want a smooth pancake batter.
4. Heat the griddle: I recommend using a pancake griddle, but a large pan also works!
5. Cook the pancakes: Spoon 1/3 cup of the batter per pancake onto the griddle. Flip the pancakes once cooked on one side to cook on the other.
6. Serve and enjoy! 

Can I make these gluten free blueberry pancakes?

You absolutely can make these vegan blueberry pancakes gluten free as well! I recommend using Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 baking flour in the blue bag. Please note that you can either use 1 cup or 140 g of flour here (which is different than the 125 g of all purpose flour!). 

You can also use oat flour, if you’d like! Simply add in 1 tbsp of arrowroot starch to help bind the pancakes.

Please do not substitute in almond flour nor coconut flour, as this won’t work!

Storing and Freezing

If you have any leftover pancakes, I recommend storing them in an airtight container or bag once they’ve cooled. Then transfer the pancakes to the freezer to keep for up to 3 months.

To reheat: 

Microwave: Place the pancakes onto a microwave safe plate, and microwave in 30-second intervals until warm.

Oven: Preheat the oven to 350F, and place the pancakes onto a baking sheet with parchment paper. Heat for 5-7 minutes, or until warm.
