This blueberry compote is super easy to make and is the perfect sauce to put on top of pancakes, ice cream, yogurt or pretty much anything you want. The sweet blueberries are cooked down to make a thick sauce that is bursting with flavor without being overly sweet. Since I had bought a big container of blueberries I thought I might as well throw them in the pancake batter too. I love when the blueberries are still warm and super juicy when you have freshly made pancakes. So if you are obsessed with blueberries like me I suggest giving the combo a try, but regardless this blueberry compote is so easy and delicious you should really try it.

Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- In a medium mixing bowl add the egg and whisk until the white and yolk is combined. Add the sugar, oil, and buttermilk and whisk several times.
- To the wet ingredients add the flour, salt and baking powder. Whisk until just combined. You don't want to over mix the batter.
- Add the blueberries and stir so that they are evenly incorporated. Leave a few out so that you can add to the pancakes any spots that might not have many blueberries when cooking.
- Spray the skillet/griddle with cooking spray. Scoop 1/3 cup batter onto the skillet/griddle. Cook for several minutes on each side until golden brown in color. Flip and finish cooking on the other side. Batter makes 4 large pancakes.
