Between my husband and our kids, we eat a lot of pancakes in our house. These pancakes from scratch are our favorites so far!
We love to meal prep breakfasts to eliminate some of the early morning stress. Typically, we make extra pancakes and stick them in the fridge for the week or freezer for the next few weeks or months.
This homemade blueberry sauce is great on a lot of things, but pancakes is our favorite. It is so nice to have it in the fridge and ready for a quick breakfast.
Remember, here at Living Practically, I like to do things simple.

INGREDIENTS IN BLUEBERRY SAUCE
SUGAR– If you are trying to be healthy, you could easily cut the sugar in half.
CORNSTARCH– This will help give it a nice thick texture.
WATER- This will activate the cornstarch and help get the right consistency.
LEMON JUICE– If you have fresh lemons on hand, use fresh lemon juice, but store boughten works too!
SALT- Just a pinch to bring out the flavor.
BLUEBERRIES– Fresh or frozen work fine. Since our family owns a blueberry farm, we always have TONS of blueberries in the freezer.
