Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, melted butter, egg, and milk in a bowl until well combined.
- Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat.
- Pour batter onto the hot griddle to form pancakes.
- Place 5 sliced strawberries on the uncooked side of each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.

Tips & Substitutions
To achieve lighter pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter; a few lumps are okay. If strawberries aren't in season, feel free to substitute with frozen berries or other fruits like blueberries. Adding a pinch of cinnamon can enhance flavor. For a healthier version, try using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose. This recipe is a delightful twist on classic American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these strawberry pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup or a homemade strawberry glaze for added sweetness. Pair them with crispy bacon or a side of yogurt for a complete breakfast experience. They also make a great addition to brunch, alongside dishes like Healthy Oat 'N Blueberry Muffins for a colorful spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them in a toaster or microwave for a few seconds until warmed through. For best results, you can also reheat them in a skillet over low heat to maintain their fluffy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the pancake batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. However, for the best texture, it's recommended to mix in the sliced strawberries just before cooking to prevent them from breaking down.
What can I use instead of milk?
If you're looking for a dairy-free option, almond milk or oat milk are great substitutes that will still yield delicious pancakes. For a richer flavor, you can also use buttermilk or yogurt mixed with a little water to achieve the right consistency.
How do I know when the pancakes are ready to flip?
Look for bubbles forming on the surface of the pancakes and the edges appearing set. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes on medium heat. Once you see these signs, gently flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
