Ingredients

Blueberry syrup:

3/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup blueberries

Streusel:

1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted

Pancakes:

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, slightly cooled
Vegetable oil (for skillet)
1 cup blueberries (about 5 ounces)

Preparation

  1. For blueberry syrup:

    Step 1

    Purée syrup and blueberries in a blender until smooth; set aside.

  2. For streusel:

    Step 2

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine oats, flour, and brown sugar on a small rimmed baking sheet; drizzle with butter and toss to coat. Bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Let cool.

    Step 3

    DO AHEAD: Streusel can be made 1 week ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

  3. For pancakes:

    Step 4

    Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk egg, buttermilk, and butter in a medium bowl, then whisk into dry ingredients.

    Step 5

    Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with oil. Working in batches, pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter into skillet and top each with 2 tablespoons berries. Cook pancakes until bottoms are golden brown and bubbles form on top, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes longer. Serve pancakes topped with syrup and streusel.
