Ingredients
Pancake Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 egg
- ¾ cup milk (or plant-based milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp melted butter (or coconut oil)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
Optional Toppings:
- Additional sliced strawberries
- Maple syrup
- Whipped cream or yogurt
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. - Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Stir until smooth. - Create the Batter:
Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and mix gently. Do not overmix—batter should be slightly lumpy. - Fold in the Strawberries:
Gently fold diced strawberries into the batter using a spatula. - Cook the Pancakes:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form (2–3 mins), flip, and cook 1–2 mins more. - Serve and Enjoy:
Serve warm with extra strawberries, maple syrup, or whipped cream as desired.
Notes
For dairy-free: Use plant milk and coconut oil.
For vegan: Replace egg with 1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water (let sit 10 mins).
For gluten-free: Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum.
To store: Refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze for 2 months. Reheat in toaster or oven for best texture.
Do not overmix the batter, it keeps the pancakes light and fluffy.
