Best EVER Blueberry Pancakes

A couple of years ago, I completed the Daniel Fast for the first time. It was a rewarding experience that put God at the forefront of my mind, tested my creativity in the kitchen, and made me more mindful of what I ate. The day after I finished, I served myself a "victory" breakfast of which these pancakes were the star. It's a truly dreamy breakfast that is perfect for Saturday mornings when you (hopefully) have a little more time. My version of the best ever blueberry pancakes are thick and lightly sweet with delicious bursts of berry goodness!

These pancakes start out much like any others--mix your batter and convey it into a hot pan. From there, sprinkle a few blueberries over top to get fresh, fruity flavor nestled into the pancakes. Let it cook then flip! Sprinkling the berries over to rather than folding them into the batter is a trick I picked up from the chefs at Collins dining hall (RIP) during undergrad (Sic 'em).

I have eaten these pancakes alone or with maple syrup, but they truly shine when topped smothered with warm, homemade blueberry compote. The compote is also simple to make and takes the stack of pancakes to the next level. On the side, you can add eggs or whatever else like but these pancakes and compote are so indulgent and filling that you might not have room.

Here are some tips for making the compote and a bevy of breakfast inspo in case these blueberry pancakes aren't your cup of tea. Please let me know how these turn out for you and ask any questions you might have in the comments section below. Thanks for reading!
