Blueberry Cream Soda Pancakes recipe
Pancakes are an essential part of any breakfast spread, if you ask me.
A few years back I realized I had never tried to make pancakes from scratch. Now, whenever I decide to make something from scratch, there is usually one of two reasons behind it.
The first is the general desire to see how complicated it is.
The second is the cost factor. Making recipes like pancakes from scratch is almost always going to be more cost-effective than buying a pre-made mix.

Pancakes made with soda
I wanted to figure out a way to up my pancake game in some way.
Now usually I think people would think to make pancakes fancy you have to add some crazy stuff to them, usually something incredibly sugary.
I had heard of 7-Up pancakes which are made with lemon-lime soda instead of baking soda, so I wanted to try this method.
But instead of sugary soda, I wanted to use some sort of zero-calorie soda plus fruit to make some out-of-this-world pancakes.
Cream soda has never been a soda I've had a lot of, but I know a lot of people who love it and it sounded like it would have the perfect texture and taste to add to pancakes that are already light, creamy and airy.
Easy blueberry pancakes
Blueberries were just a natural pick because we always have at least two pints of them at the ready.
We use them in muffins, smoothies and now these Blueberry Cream Soda Pancakes.
If you enjoy the taste of cream soda or are just looking for a fun addition to your Saturday morning breakfast routine, these Blueberry Cream Soda Pancakes are the answer you're looking for.
I chose Zevia cream soda, because it is made with stevia, so there is zero added sugar in the soda and there is also none added to these pancakes.
I made a homemade blueberry whipped cream to put on top of these pancakes but you could also eat them plain or with your favorite pancake topping!
Maple syrup and honey are classics. And don't forget to save a few fresh blueberries to go with them!
