How to Make Blueberry Banana Pancakes

Tips

• Use fresh blueberries rather than frozen ones. Fresh blueberries will ensure the berries are cooked through. If you have to use frozen, I would thaw the berries overnight first.
• Make sure the pancakes are fully cooked through. You don’t want uncooked batter in your pancake!
