how to make strawberry pancakes

ingredients you will need:

flour
salt
cinnamon
baking powder
vanilla extract
maple syrup
milk
white vinegar or lemon juice
egg
coconut oil
fresh strawberries

In a large bowl combine the flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder.

In a small bowl combine the milk and vinegar (or lemon juice) and allow it to sit for 5 minutes, this will curdle the milk and turn it into buttermilk.

Pour the buttermilk mixture, maple syrup, vanilla, egg, and coconut oil into the bowl with the dry ingredients and whisk until combined.

Allow the pancake batter sit for 5 minutes once mixed so the baking powder can fully activate, this is what creates fluffy pancakes.

how do you add strawberry to the pancakes?

Once the batter is ready, heat a skillet with a little coconut oil or butter. Place about 1/3 cup of pancake batter onto the pan and top with chopped strawberries. The pancake is ready to flip once it’s starting to bubble on the surface. Gently flip the pancakes and cook until both sides are fully browned.

If you want you could also fold the strawberries into the batter. We just find it’s easier to there is a piece of strawberry in each bite by adding it to the pancake ones it’s on the pan or griddle.

It’s always a good idea for any baking recipe or recipe with wet and dry ingredients to slowly add wet ingredients into the dry, unless it says you can mix them all together.

recipe tips:

you can use buttermilk if you have it on hand, otherwise, use the buttermilk substitute.
swap out the coconut oil for other fats, you can use melted butter or vegetable oil.
to make these dairy free you can use coconut milk, almond milk, or soy milk, these will all work with the buttermilk substitute method as well.
if you don’t want to add maple syrup into the mix you can use your preferred sweetener.
frozen strawberries will work in this recipe, just use the same amount as you would fresh.
add flavor additions like fresh citrus zest, lemon or orange works well.
keep cooked strawberry pancakes warm in the oven while you’re making the rest – we keep them warm in our oven at 250 degrees F.
