The fresh, delicious flavors of lemon and blueberry come together in these fluffy Lemon Blueberry Pancakes. Topped with a delicious lemon cream cheese whipped topping, and fresh blueberries, these make for an amazing breakfast or brunch!
To make the whipped topping, cream together the room temp cream cheese, powdered sugar, and pudding mix until creamy and smooth. Fold in the whipped topping until completely combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, pudding mix, sugar, baking powder, and salt. To the dry ingredients, add the milk, oil, egg and lemon juice and zest. Whisk well to combine all ingredients until nearly lump free.
Preheat a griddle over medium heat, and generously grease with shortening. Pour on batter on to the hot griddle. Sprinkle each pancake with 10-12 blueberries. When the pancakes begin to bubble through, check the bottom to see if golden brown. Flip pancakes and cook for 1-2 minutes longer or until golden brown on each side.
When ready to serve top pancakes with the whipped topping and enjoy right away. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Pancakes can also be frozen. If freezing, separate pancakes with waxed or parchment paper to prevent from sticking together.
Notes
