How to Make Strawberry Pancakes
It could not be easier to make this pancake recipe. It’s so yummy! Here’s a quick overview of how to make Strawberry Pancakes in 7 easy steps:
- Mix the diced strawberries with sugar and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Whisk together the wet ingredients in a separate bowl.
- Pour the liquid ingredients and chopped strawberry mixture (with any excess strawberry liquid) into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined.
- Heat some butter (1/2 – 1 Tablespoon at a time, as needed throughout cooking) in a non-stick fry pan, skillet, or griddle over medium-low heat.
- Add a heaping 1/4 cup of the pancake batter to the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side (or until bubbles begin to form). Continue the cooking process with the remaining batter.
- Mix the topping ingredients together and add to the pancakes. Enjoy!
Tips & Variations
- It’s okay if the pancake batter is a bit lumpy; don’t overmix!
- Strawberries should be chopped into medium pieces! This recipe was initially tested with finely chopped strawberries, and they don’t stand out when eating the pancakes.
- To make these pancakes even more special, try adding a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top before serving.
- These pancakes are best enjoyed immediately, but you can also store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, simply microwave for 15-30 seconds!
- For a fun twist, try adding some chocolate chips, chopped nuts, sliced almonds, coconut shavings, and/or maple syrup on top for added texture and flavor.
Refrigerating/Freezing
To refrigerate: Store the pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
To freeze: Wrap the pancakes in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe container or bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, simply microwave for 30-45 seconds.
