Quick and easy to make – This pancake recipe calls for pantry staple ingredients and about 10-15 minutes of your time, depending on how many batches you wish to make!
A nutritious breakfast option – The addition of strawberries in the pancake batter will give your breakfast an instant boost of vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber. Even better is the fact that the strawberries give a natural and pretty pink hue to the pancakes.

How To Make Strawberry Pancakes From Fresh Strawberries
Combine the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar in a mixing bowl until they are evenly incorporated.
Mix the diced strawberries with the remaining 5 tablespoons of granulated sugar in a separate bowl to release their juices. Set this aside for a few minutes.
Add the melted butter and eggs to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Gradually pour in the whole milk while stirring the batter. Mix the batter until smooth with no lumps.
Gently fold the strawberry mixture into the pancake batter.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, ladle approximately 1/3 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Depending on your pan, you may want to lightly grease the pan with oil or non-stick cooking spray.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, then flip and cook for another minute or until golden brown. Repeat this process with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
Serve these Strawberry Delight Pancakes warm with your favourite toppings such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or additional diced strawberries.
Storage Instructions For Strawberry Pancakes
To keep your strawberry delight pancakes fresher for longer, follow these simple storage tips:
In The Fridge
Once completely cool, wrap the pancakes individually with plastic wrap or foil and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Make sure to remove any additional toppings to prevent the stored pancakes from turning soggy.
Reheat your pancakes in the oven for a few minutes. I like to keep the pancakes covered with foil while heating them to prevent them from drying out.
Freezing
These strawberry pancakes will last for up to 3 months in the freezer. Wrap them individually with plastic wrap or foil and store them in an airtight container for freezer-safe bag. Thaw your frozen pancakes in the fridge overnight and reheat them in the oven for best results!
