Tips and Suggestions
I prefer fresh blueberries in this recipe, you can use frozen blueberries if you want, they will probably change the color up a bit as you mix them.
I use vanilla greek yogurt just for a little extra flavoring and I have even used flavored yogurts such as blueberry and lemon. Any greek yogurt you have in your fridge will work in this recipe.
You will notice there is no added sugar in this recipe, the lemon juice and zest help with the overall flavor and I find it does not need sugar. If you want to add in some sugar alternative if you use them in other recipes feel free to do so. You can also add a drop of honey to the batter if you want to sweeten it up a little. Adding some syrup afterward is another great way to sweeten them up.
Some alternative/extra add-ins
- Chocolate chips
- Sprinkles
- Blackberries, strawberries, raspberries
- Nuts
Storing and re-heating
Keep leftovers stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. To reheat you can pop them in the toaster or heat them up in the microwave. These will freeze well making them a great option for meal prep.

Is there a non-dairy alternative that I could use for the buttermilk? Would almond milk work? Thanks!
Almond milk should work but you’ll want to mix in some lemon juice. Let me know how it tastes!
Could you make this into a pumpkin pancake bake casserole and how would you do so Kate? I love your recipes and am a fellow Canadian.🥞
