In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat a non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray or oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake, spreading slightly into a circle shape if needed.
Cook on one side until small bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the second side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the pancakes from the griddle and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the blueberry pancakes warm with your choice of toppings such as fresh fruit, honey, or a light drizzle of syrup.
