Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt until evenly combined.
- Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 1 large egg with 1 1/4 cups milk, 3 tbsp melted unsalted butter, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy. Add a few drops of blue food coloring if using, and stir gently.
- Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined; batter should be slightly lumpy. Fold in 1 cup fresh blueberries carefully to avoid breaking them.
- Step 4: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Step 5: Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on top and edges look set, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Step 6: Transfer pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Once all pancakes are cooked, use white icing to pipe snowflake shapes on top, mimicking Frozen’s icy designs.
- Step 7: Dust pancakes lightly with powdered sugar to resemble freshly fallen snow and serve immediately.
Frequently asked questions

Total time is about 25 minutes (10 min prep + 15 min cook). Most home bakers find this fits a weekend afternoon; chill or store as the recipe directs before serving.
How do I store leftover Frozen-Themed Blueberry Snowflake Pancakes?
Cool fully before storing. Most baked desserts keep at room temperature in an airtight container for 2–3 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Cream- or custard-based desserts must go in the fridge within 2 hours; reheat gently or serve cold per the recipe.
Can I substitute ingredients in Frozen-Themed Blueberry Snowflake Pancakes?
Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.
How do I scale Frozen-Themed Blueberry Snowflake Pancakes for a different number of people?
The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
