Very Berry Pancakes ~These pancakes are so light and yummy and I just love that you can add fresh fruit of any kind. Here is a mixture of blackberries, raspberries, blueberries and strawberries. These berries are very healthy and go so well together. Add whipped cream or syrup if you have a sweet tooth, but the berries alone make this dish sweet enough. Mom will love these served to her on her special day. They are easy enough to put together as the recipe states, but you can cheat and use frozen pancakes if you are too young to light the stove! Yummy and pretty at the same time!
Very Berry Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup each raspberries blueberries, sliced strawberries, and blackberries
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted, plus 4 teaspoons for the dishes
- 3 extra-large eggs at room temperature
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Maple syrup and confectioners' sugar for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Gently combine the berries and sugar in a small bowl and set aside while you make the pancakes. Place 4 (6- to 7-inch) individual gratin dishes on two sheet pans. Place 1 teaspoon of butter in each gratin dish and set aside.
- Place the eggs in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and beat on medium speed until mixed. Add the milk and combine. Slowly add the flour, vanilla, orange zest, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and the salt and mix just until smooth. Whisk by hand if the mixture is lumpy.
- Place the gratin dishes in the oven for 3 minutes, until the butter is hot and bubbly. Make sure the butter covers the bottom of each dish. Immediately divide the batter equally among the gratin dishes and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until puffed and lightly browned. Divide the berries among the dishes, drizzle with maple syrup, dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve hot.

Oh yum – The more the berrier!! Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party.
I love it Helen. Still got it girl! Enjoy your evening.
I’m reading this while I eat a bowl of berries. Wish I had those pancakes to put them on!
I love fruit on any dish. Berries are starting to get sweeter here. I cant wait for the strawberries in a few week! Thank you Christie for leaving a comment. Enjoy your week!
And to think, all these years I’ve made my pancakes using Bisquick when I already had all of the ingredients for your recipe in the house. Shame on me! Thank you for sharing.
I am all for making my own mixes from foods I already have. Especially for items that I only need a small amount for occasionally. I hate throwing stuff out. LOL. Have a great evening.
I love the fresh berries on the pancakes! Thanks so much for sharing with us at Full Plate Thursday and sure hope you are having a great week!

What a great way to make individual pancakes. I bake a huge cake size pancake in this way but I’ve never thought of doing individual ones this way.
I like that everyone can have their own little piece of heaven and then top it with whatever they like at the time. Enjoy your day!
I love berry pancakes! My husband and kids just like boring old pancakes, so I make the berry ones just for me! Thank you for sharing!

You are welcome. Your readers are some of the best foodies around! Have a wonderful week!
always looking for more tasty breakfast ideas for the boys of mine! Thanks for sharing to the Friday Frenzy!
I hope you give this is try Laura. Anytime I can prepare a meal that everyone can sit and eat at the same time is a win win in my home! Enjoy. Have a good up and coming week.
What a cool idea – I have never baked pancakes before (don’t laugh at me)! As always, Marilyn – unique and delicious! Thanks for always visiting #ThoughtFullThursday!
I would never laugh!! It is amzing the new methods I learn every day. I love to make french toast bakes and thought this would be good to try. Have a good up and coming week.
Mmmmm….pancakes! Thanks for linking up at Friday Frenzy Link Party! Pinned!!
Pancakes. Yet one more way to say comfort food! Have a wonderful week!
Yum! Berry and pancakes sounds like a match made in heaven!
Here in the UK we generally make flatter, crepe like pancakes though you can buy fluffy ones in the shops that are called scotch pancakes. Fluffy American style pancakes are well known about though and a treat to look out for if we are lucky enough to come over for a holiday (or lucky enough to visit IHOP!) Now I can try making my own – pinning!
I hope you get a chance to try these “American” pancakes and they are everything you are hoping for. It is interesting to learn about food differences in different areas. Have a wonderful week.
Oh my, these look delicious. I’m going to makes these for me! Thanks for sharing on Sunday’s Best.
I am glad you like them Rhonda! Enjoy. Have a great week.
Wow Marilyn, you learn something new everyday. I had no idea that you could make pancakes in a gratin dishes in the oven. That makes it so much easier than trying to flip them on the stove and with all the berriliciousness over the top they won’t last long in our home
I love pancake and french toast bakes. Everyone sits down and eats together.it doesn’t happen too much in my home anymore. Have a great week.
I always think berries are so colourful in dessert, Marilyn and these Very Berry Pancakes look scrumptious. Thanks for sharing at #BloggersPitStop
Thank you Sue. I love the colorful presentation as well. Have a great week.
One word: YUM!

I just love all the tastes of competing fruit in this recipe. Thanks Joanne. Thank you for hosting. I linked my Weight Watchers Veggie Soup, an Amish Pasta Salad and very Berry Pancakes for that weekend brunch. I hope you enjoy them! Have a happy week!
If I could eat pancakes every day and be healthy and not overweight I would. These would be my pancakes of choice and when I make them they will be a once in a while treat. Thanks for joining us again at Celebrate Your Story, have a great weekend.
