Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk the orange juice with the orange zest, buttermilk, and eggs until smooth.
  2. In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture, blending well. Add the melted butter and stir until smooth. Add blueberries to batter, if using.
  3. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Drizzle oil to the hot skillet. When the oil is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan for each pancake. 
  4. When bubbles begin to appear on top and the edges begin to look dry, flip the pancakes and cook until the other side is lightly brown. Adjust the heat under the pan, as necessary.
  5. Remove the pancakes to a plate and serve with your favorite breakfast side, like bacon!  

Notes

  • Keep pancakes warm in the oven (200 degrees F) for up to 30 minutes, or use your tortilla warmer.
  • Optional Variations
  • Keep pancakes warm in the oven (200 degrees F) for up to 30 minutes, or use your tortilla warmer.
  • Orange Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes - Add extra fruity goodness to your breakfast by folding in fresh or frozen blueberries.
  • Orange Chocolate Chip Buttermilk Pancakes - Chocolate and orange are a match made in heaven. (Don't you just love those chocolate oranges you smash at Christmas?!?) Sprinkle about 1–2 teaspoons of chocolate chips on each pancake as you add it to the griddle. Kids are sure to love it!!
  • Dairy-Free Orange Buttermilk Pancakes - Feel free to use the plant-based milk of your choice and either mix directly with the orange juice and let rest for about 5–10 minutes, or add a teaspoon of acid (e.g. lemon juice or white vinegar) for each cup that you use.
  • Vegan Orange Pancakes - Follow the instructions for the dairy-free variation above and swap in your favorite vegan egg replacement to make these pancakes totally plant-based.
