These Blueberry Muffin Pancakes are the perfect blend of two of my favorite breakfast items! Thick and fluffy blueberry pancakes get covered in a streusel topping while frying. This way, the streusel sort of cooks into the pancake – ending up tasting like the streusel you find on those big bakery blueberry muffins! Serve the stack warm, covered in maple syrup and whipped butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pancakes come together really easily and can be doubled (or tripled) up to suit your needs. I make the recipe below to serve two very happily. With pancakes, it really is always best to make too many rather than too few. I recommend keeping a plate in the oven set on very low, but warm, to keep the pancakes on until ready to serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pancakes are based off my basic pancake recipe. I sprinkle the fresh blueberries on top of the pancake when I first scoop the batter into the frying pan. Feel free to change the size of these to plate size or mini, whatever best suits you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What even is Streusel!? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Streusel topping is a crumbly mixture typically made from flour, sugar, and butter, often with added spices like cinnamon or nuts. It\u2019s commonly used to add texture and sweetness to baked goods such as coffee cakes, muffins, and fruit pies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The origins of streusel date back to German baking traditions, where the word “streusel” comes from the German verb “streuen,” meaning “to sprinkle.” It was traditionally used to add a sweet, crunchy layer on top of cakes and pastries. Over time, streusel became popular in many cultures, evolving into various regional forms and adaptations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Streusel is beloved for its versatility and the way it enhances the flavor and texture of desserts, making it a staple in both home baking and professional pastry kitchens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
