The strawberry pancake batter is simple and has the best flavor. It’s the perfect base for add in’s and cooks up with delicious, crispy edges.

What ingredients do you need for strawberry pancakes?

Ingredients to make the recipe
  • Dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Wet ingredients: egg, milk, vanilla, and melted butter.
  • Strawberries: I love cooking the berries into the batter and having some extra served on top.

How to make strawberry pancakes

These strawberry pancakes only require one bowl or one blender to whip up. So they’re super simple.

Make strawberry pancake batter

  1. Whisk the egg in a bowl until well blended.
  2. Then, whisk in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients before adding to the wet mixture.
  4. Mix together until combined and allow the batter to rest for about 10 minutes.
  5. Add in the chopped strawberries.
  6. Fold them in and prepare to cook on a griddle.

Cook pancakes on a griddle

  • Heat a pan and coat with non-stick cooking spray. Ladle the batter into even sized pancakes and cook until the are puffed on top and golden brown on the bottom.
  • Flip the pancakes and continue to cook until done.

Tips for making strawberry pancakes

  • Add more flour if batter is too thin. These make the best crispy edged pancakes, but if you like your batter a little thicker, stir in 1-2 more tablespoons of flour.
  • Use a measuring cup. Scoop the batter with a cup to get equal sized pancakes that cook around the same time.
  • Be patient when cooking the pancakes. You want to watch for the edges starting to brown lightly and then you can flip the pancakes. Another test is to see if you can easily slide a spatula under the pancakes, they’re ready for flipping.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use any kind of milk?

Yes, you can use buttermilk, another type of milk, or non-dairy milk.

Can I use frozen strawberries?

These pancakes are best with fresh strawberries. You may need to adjust the recipe if using frozen strawberries to account for the extra moisture they produce.

Can you freeze strawberry pancakes?

Yes! To freeze, place cooked pancakes in a single layer on a parchment lined sheet pan and put them in the freezer. Once frozen, transfer the frozen pancakes to a freezer safe bag or container. Reheat in the microwave, on the stove, or in the oven until heated through.
