Blueberry Granola Crunch Pancakes
Blueberry Granola Crunch Pancakes are the fluffiest buttermilk pancakes with fresh blueberries and granola baked right inside. They’re straight from the cookbook Stack Happy, which you don’t want to miss!
You know what’s sad? When my kids were little, I used to make pancakes every single weekend for Sunday breakfast. With blueberries. Somewhere along the line, I started getting up and exercising on Sunday mornings, leaving the big breakfast behind. Sometimes I’ll make a bigger breakfast later in the day, but pancakes? I kinda just stopped making them. My poor deprived kids. 🙁
You know whose kids are happy? Karly Campbell’s kids! Do you know Karly? She has the drool-worthy blog over at Buns In My Oven.
She has been keeping me coming back for more for the past few years, because not only are her recipes fabulous and photographs beautiful, her posts are so entertaining I always get a good laugh!
When Karly released her cookbook Stack Happy, I couldn’t get my hands on it fast enough, and you can grab yourself a copy over at Amazon.com, too. Tell you what, I won’t be pancake challenged anymore with this baby. 🙂
It was verrrry difficult to figure out which happy stack to make first, and let me tell you, I wanted to make them all…which I will at some point. The ones I really toiled over included the following:
- Breakfast sandwiches — with pancakes!
- Blueberry Almond Butter Pancakes
- Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pancakes
- Whole Wheat Butternut Squash Pancakes
- Strawberry Ricotta Whole Wheat Pancakes
- Blueberry Coconut Quinoa Pancakes
- Garlic and Dill Cauliflower Cakes
- Tex Mex Quinoa Cakes
- and even Sweet Potato Latkes with BBQ Pulled Pork and Coleslaw!
Karly, you outdid yourself. 🙂
So I ended up choosing these Blueberry Granola Crunch Pancakes because blueberry pancakes hold a special place in my heart. They’re pretty much what I order if I get pancakes at a restaurant, and if I see granola pancakes, I always want those! You could make my Almond Coconut Chia Seed Granola and use that here, or use whatever you have in your pantry.
Buttermilk is my favorite in pancakes too, because it makes them nice and tangy. These pancakes were every bit as fluffy as you want your pancakes to be, and the combination of crunchy granola and sweet, bursting blueberries makes for one delicious breakfast!
I’ll definitely be having a lot of fun making the many varieties of pancakes from Stack Happy. Whether I’m in the mood for sweet, savory, healthy, or dessert pancakes, it’s all there. Karly’s got us covered. 🙂

Yay! What a fun idea! Snack happy sounds amazing! I always thought it’d be fun to add white chocolate chips and raspberries to pancakes!! YUM! Or PB and banana slices… and mini chocolate chips!! haha, so fun!
The options are endless, aren’t they, Cailee! I love your ideas! 🙂
Granola is something that I just can’t get enough of, and adding it to pancakes sounds like a delicious idea! I can’t wait to try it! We love pancakes in my house, and that cookbook sounds like something we would really enjoy!

This is such a gorgeous stack of pancakes, Marcie! They look so thick and fluffy and I love the granola and blueberries! I adore Karly and I can’t wait to check out her book!
The pancakes did turn out so thick and fluffy! I took one look at Karly’s photos and knew they’d be delicious. Thanks, Kelly!
Indy actually has a pancake called Granola Blues? I would love those! Karly’s book is so amazing from her stories about each stack to her beautiful pics! Have a great day, Stacy! 🙂
Yum yum yum! I think it was Jocelyn who just did french toast pancakes and I was oohing and aahing over two breakfasts in one! Love how this is kind of the same 2 in 1 idea but with granola 🙂 So delicious!
It was Jocelyn, and those looked so good! Karly’s got a million great pancake ideas! 🙂
Perfect choice Marcia! Love these pancakes! I enjoy reading Karly’s blog and also have the book. What a shame I haven’t cooked anything from it… This is going to change, will start with these pancakes 🙂
Thank you, Mira! I’m dying to try those blueberry quinoa pancakes next! 🙂
You’d love this book, Meghan! The pancake variety and creativity are off the charts! 🙂
I think i need a crunch or at least a texture with my pancakes so this would work perfectly for me!
I love texture, too, so the crunch in these pancakes was perfect! 🙂
Beautiful looking pancakes Marcie! 🙂 Love the addition of granola crunch!
Thank you, Manali! That granola crunch made these really special. 🙂
So it’s completely sad that I can’t even remember the last time I made pancakes!! Blueberries are my absolute favorite in anything like this – these sound so good! Maybe I need to make it a pancake kind of weekend 🙂
I do waffles more often, but there’s something to be said about a nice, fluffy stack of blueberry pancakes! Especially with granola added to the mix! Hope you have a flipping great pancake kind of weekend. 🙂
Wow, Marcie, these pancakes look delicious! Blueberry pancakes definitely hold a place in my heart, too…they are just classic, and delicious. I love the addition of the granola, they look perfect for Sunday morning breakfasts.
Thank you, Denise — and blueberry is where it’s at for me! Hope you have a great weekend! 🙂
Such a creative idea Marcie to make a “granola” textured pancake.. if only I could have these for breakfast tomorrow!
Thank you, Thalia, and I need to make these again soon! 🙂
These pancakes lok amazing, Marcie! I just made blueberry ones last weekend, but I absolutely love the addition of granola. Definitely gives it a nice crunch and texture! And your photos are stunning, too! Such a great Sunday breakfast. Pinned!
The granola definitely added some nice texture, and these were perfect for Sunday breakfast! Thanks, Gayle, and have a great weekend! 🙂
I’m not a huge pancake person, but if a pancake were to change my mind, it would definitely be these! What a gorgeous looking stack!
Thanks, Kristi! Have yourself a great weekend! 🙂
Oh I hardly doubt your kids are deprived. You make so much amazing stuff, Marcie! Love the granola in here for a bit of crunch! Have a great weekend!
Yeah, my kids totally aren’t deprived. haha They did miss pancakes, though! It was nice to get back to flipping some hot cakes. 🙂 Hope you have a great weekend! 🙂
I bet the kiddos were excited to see Sunday pancake day reemerge from the good old days. It seems you chose a good one to make from Karly’s book – these look delicious. I’m also eyeing up the blueberry almond butter pancakes (you can never get enough almond butter).
They kids were beyond excited! I totally agree about never getting enough almond butter, so I’m really excited to try those soon as well. Thanks, Lynn! 🙂
Thank you, Juliana, and that granola crunch is so tasty! 🙂
Nothing better than a whole cookbook of pancake recipes! Love the addition of granola in these pancakes!
I’m loving this cookbook, and granola in pancakes is so delicious! Have a great weekend, Christin! 🙂
I know — crunchy pancakes are so great! I’ve ordered them out bunches of times so I finally got around to making them at home! 🙂
So these are pretty amazing, Marcie! I NEED to order Stack Happy like now! I keep seeing so many delicious pancake recipes popping up! Pinning for later!
Thank you, Justine, and you’ll love the book! So many great recipes, too little time! 🙂
Wow, those look delicious! You are so right, Karly cracks me up. I think I have asked her to adopt me several times already, her kids are so lucky. I think I better make pancakes for dinner this weekend. 🙂
I’d love Karly to adopt me, too! haha Hope you’re having a great weekend, Lisa! 🙂
Granola in pancakes?! Brilliant! I have got to try that! I have also got to get that cookbook because all of those recipes you mentioned sound heavenly!
The granola was such a nice little crunch in these cakes, and the cookbook is fabulous! Hope you’re having a great weekend, Michelle! 🙂
These look “flipping” amazing!! I am a pancake person but they can be time consuming and messy so I don’t make them often. These look delicious!!
They were flipping amazing! 🙂 Normally I like to make muffins because I think they’re easier, but honestly, I cranked these pancakes out in no time. They’re happening a lot more around here! 🙂
I love texture and crunch with my pancakes and need to get this book ASAP!!!! love these pancakes!!
The cookbook is fabulous, and I can’t wait to try out some more recipes! 🙂
I love the idea of there being a lovely granola-y crunch in these, Marcie. The other pancake ideas sound so wonderful, too!
The granola crunch in these was so nice, and it made these extra hearty! Thanks, Helen!
Ohhhh these sound so awesome! Our favorite breakfast place has amazing granola pancakes, but I’ve never tried adding granola at home. I need to try– so good!
It’s funny how such a small addition can make something so much better, but the granola does just that! Thanks, Jess!
I love her book so much!! And I totally get you – I used to do that too and then I realized I’d rather sit and drink my coffee instead of be cooking at 6am. 🙂 Love these – pinned!
Thanks, Dorothy! And there’s definitely something to be said about lounging around drinking coffee on a Sunday morning instead of making a full-on breakfast for everyone. I need to put my kids to work! 🙂
I do miss the Sunday breakfast, I just don’t want to make it! haha I’m trying to get less selfish about exercising/or being less lazy and get back to pancake making! 🙂
WAY too many options, right? These were delicious, and I can’t wait to try all the other stacks! 🙂
That sounds like my kind of cookbook–I’ll have to check it out! These pancakes look delicious, love the addition of crunchy granola 🙂
The cookbook is great — I hope you get yourself a copy! 🙂
They really are heaven! Thanks, Claudia. 🙂
You’re welcome and I hope you enjoy them Mira!
