One thing I have loved this year is the amount of strawberries that have been coming off our strawberry plants. They were new last year, so we didn’t get a ton of berries. But this year, the berries have been plentiful! Abbi loves them – in fact, whenever she is in the backyard, she makes a beeline for them and eats them straight off the plant. So I haven’t had a ton of strawberries laying around, needing to be used, but I have had enough to try some new recipes.
This recipe isn’t necessarily new, but an old recipe with a new twist. This is my favorite pancake recipe. I’ve tried so many different pancake recipes, but I always come back to this one. Maybe it’s because this pancake recipe is the one I’ve been eating since I was a kid. But I stepped it up a little by adding in fresh, diced strawberries. I wasn’t sure how well it would work, because strawberries are so wet, but they were delicious! And that’s what I call breakfast!
Traditional pancakes are filled with fresh strawberries - a perfect summertime breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 eggs, separated
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup diced fresh strawberries
Instructions
- Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl. In a measuring cup combine the milk, egg yolks and oil. Stir into the dry ingredients lightly, stirring only until combined. There will be lumps.
- In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until they have soft peaks. Fold gently into the rest of the batter.
- Cook pancakes on a preheated griddle or large saute pan. Serve with maple syrup and additional strawberries, if desired.
Heavenly pancakes!
Cheers,

Looks tasty. The problem I've always had with baking with strawberries is that they seem to lose their flavor.
Oh yummy!! A delicious way to use up your fresh strawberries.
THis was out dinner last night, LOVE
These are luscious! I love anything strawberry and have been feating on them these days.
Little Abbi is really smart!
Great way to use up Strawberries, my kids would love these!
Great idea…I love making banana pancakes, but I've never ventured into adding strawberries. I made blueberry pancakes a few weeks ago, and I have a carton of strawberries in my fridge that need to be used!
