A Sunday Tradition
Let’s talk about Pancake Sunday – a tradition that has been going on in my household for ages. It all started because my child, just like any pancake lover, requested pancakes EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. So, to keep it special, we decided to designate Sundays as pancake days. But after trying this blueberry and cream cheese pancakes recipe, I can’t help but question my decision to limit our pancake indulgence to just one day a week.

Recipe Features:
Before we dive into the recipe, let’s talk about Chrissy Teigen. I absolutely adore her and her amazing cookbooks. Her recipes are simply spectacular and always a hit with my family. If you’re looking to expand your cookbook collection, I highly recommend starting with her original book, Cravings, and then moving on to Cravings: Hungry for More. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed. The recipes are fantastic, and the photos are absolutely stunning!
Now, let’s go over the key ingredients for this mouthwatering pancake recipe:
- Cream Cheese: You can use an off-brand cream cheese to save a bit of money if you prefer.
- Buttermilk: Please try not to substitute this. Buttermilk is what gives these pancakes their incredible texture.
- Blueberries: Fresh blueberries are the way to go for the best flavor.
Tips for Perfect Pancakes:
Here are a few tips to ensure your pancakes turn out absolutely perfect:
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help everything blend together easily, resulting in a well-balanced batter.
- Mix the batter by hand. Overmixing can lead to chewy pancakes instead of light and fluffy ones. You want to mix just until the wet and dry ingredients are blended together.
Can You Use Frozen Blueberries?
Absolutely! While fresh blueberries are ideal, frozen berries work perfectly fine, especially when fresh ones are not in season. So, go ahead and grab a pack of frozen blueberries if needed.
Freeze and Enjoy Later!
One of the best things about this recipe is that it is 100% freezer-friendly. To store your pancakes for later enjoyment, stack them with a small sheet of wax paper between each pancake and place them in a zip-top bag. For the best taste, try to use the frozen pancakes within 1-2 months.
A few additional notes about this recipe:
- Chrissy suggests topping the pancakes with graham cracker crumbs, which we didn’t have available, but I’m sure it adds a delightful cheesecake flavor. It’s definitely worth trying next time!
- When using cream cheese, it’s worth taking the time to chop it into small pieces. Trust me, it’s a little extra effort that pays off in the end.
- Don’t forget to wash your berries and make sure they are dry before sprinkling them into your pancake batter.
