Slow Cooker Blueberry Vanilla Pancakes

Slow Cooker Blueberry Vanilla Pancakes on white plate Every once in a while I decide it sounds like a great idea to get up early on Saturday or Sunday and make a big breakfast for the family. Eggs, bacon, sausage and especially pancakes. But the idea is always so much better than the execution. I always find the timing is difficult and I’m still standing at the stove flipping pancakes while everyone else is inhaling the rest of the food! Save some of that bacon for me!! From now on I will be making my pancakes in the crockpot!

Several years ago I came across a recipe for making pancakes from scratch and I have to say I’ve never looked back! They are really so easy to make that I can’t imagine ever using a boxed mix again. Plus? The taste and texture difference. No comparison. And in the slow cooker… just as awesome!

I get up early at least one day on the weekend to meet my friends for a run. I can put these together in the crock before I head out the door. I can recruit the husband to start on the eggs and I can start on the bacon when I get home and we will have a big, weekend worthy breakfast in no time.

  • In a large bowl add buttermilk, butter, eggs, and vanilla and whisk together
  • Slowly add dry mixture to wet ingredients and stir until no lumps remain
  • Carefully fold in blueberries, careful not to stir very much if you are using frozen or the color will bleed into your batter

  • Poor batter into crock and cover
  • Cook on high for 2 hours until edges are slightly browned and the center is fully cooked through

Notes

Use a larger oval crock (I used a 6 quart) so that the batter will be thin enough to cook evenly

        I’ve heard oven bacon is not good for your oven, true? Also could I use chopped skinned apples or would they not cook enough to soften?
