Mother’s Day Breakfast in Bed: Fluffy Blueberry Pancakes

Celebrate Mum with Breakfast in Bed

This Mother’s Day, treat Mum to a homemade breakfast in bed that’s as warm and indulgent as she is. Our fluffy buttermilk pancakes get a burst of summery sweetness thanks to Seriously Organic Blueberries, tucked right into the batter so every bite is dotted with juicy pops of flavour. Whether you’re surprising her with breakfast on a tray lined with fresh blooms or letting the kids sprinkle on the extra berries, these pancakes are guaranteed to start her day with a smile.

Ingredients (serves 4)

• 260 g plain flour (approx. 2 cups)

• 2 Tbsp caster sugar

• 1 ½ tsp baking powder

• ¾ tsp baking soda

• ½ tsp salt

• 2 large eggs

• 400 ml buttermilk

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 60 g unsalted butter, melted and cooled

• 150 g Seriously Organic frozen blueberries

• Butter or oil, for cooking

To serve (optional)

• Maple syrup or honey

• Greek yoghurt or whipped cream

• A handful of extra Seriously Organic Blueberries, thawed

Method

Prep your mixes

In a large bowl, whisk the flour, caster sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate jug, beat the eggs with the buttermilk and vanilla, then stir in the melted butter.

Bring it together

Pour the wet mix into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined—some small lumps are fine. Carefully stir in the Serious Organic frozen blueberries (no need to thaw). Leave the batter to rest for 10 minutes.

Cook to golden

Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease. Drop a ¼ cup of batter per pancake. Cook for about 2 minutes, until bubbles form and edges look set, then flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden.

Keep warm

Transfer cooked pancakes to a wire rack in a low oven (90 °C) while you finish the batch.

Serve with love

Stack high, top with extra thawed blueberries, and a generous drizzle of maple syrup. Finish it off with a small vase of fresh flowers, a lovely Mothers Day card, and a heartfelt written note.
