    Ingredients To Gather

    An overhead shot of the ingredients for the Strawberry banana panacakes
    • All-purpose flour.
    • Baking Powder and baking soda. This will make the pancakes light and fluffy.
    • Whole Milk. You can use your favorite nondairy milk instead if you prefer.
    • Fresh Strawberries. Chopped into small pieces.
    • One overripe banana. Overripe bananas are brown and spotty, but not so brown it doesn't hold its shape.
    • One egg. To hold the pancakes together as they cook.
    • Three tablespoons butter, melted.
    • One teaspoon of vanilla extract

    Equipment To You'll Need

    • Measuring Cups
    • Measuring Spoons
    • Mixing Bowls
    • Whisk
    • Rubber Spatula
    • Non-Stick skillet or griddle

    How To Make Strawberry Banana Pancakes

    The banana is mashed in a bowl
    Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, mash the banana.
    The banana is being mashed with the vanilla, butter, and sugar.
    Step 2: To the mashed banana, add the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
    The egg is added to the bowl.
    Step 3: Add the milk and egg to the large bowl and mix again.
    The dry ingredients are added to the bowl.
    Step 4: In a small bowl, mix the white flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to combine. Add the dry ingredients into the large bowl with the wet ingredients and mix.
    The strawberries are folded into the batter.
    Step 5: Cut the strawberry into small pieces and add them to the batter. Fold the strawberries into the batter, but try not to mash them.
    The pancake is being cooked
    Step 6: Spoon the batter into the hot griddle or hot skillet. Let the batter cook for a couple of minutes. When the edges start to dry out and there are small bubbles in the center of the pancake, flip the pancake. Cook the second side for 2-3 minutes. Continue with the rest of the batter until all the pancakes are made.

    Pro Tip! A great way to make sure you get perfect pancakes every time and that they are all the same size is to use a measuring cup to add the batter to the pan.

    Tips and Tricks

    • To make sure your pan or griddle is hot enough, take a quarter-sized amount of the batter and place it in the griddle. If the edges start to dry out and the middle begins to bubble, the pan is hot enough to begin cooking the pancake batter.
    • Do not overmix the batter. There will be some lumps left in the batter from the strawberries and the bananas.
    • To make these dairy-free pancakes, use oat milk, soy milk, or almond milk and vegetable oil instead of butter.
    • Want to up the nutrition in these fluffy pancakes? Use oat flour or white whole wheat flour! That will increase the fiber count in your pancake stacks
    • If you are making a big batch, cook the pancakes all the way through and then place them on a baking sheet in a 200-degree oven. Let them sit in the oven until you are ready to serve them. This will keep them fresh and warm.

    How To Serve Strawberry Banana Pancakes

    • Topped with butter and a small amount of jam!
    • With loads of high-quality maple syrup!
    • Topped with banana slices and strawberry slices.
    • With homemade whipped cream!
    • To up the strawberry flavor, serve these pancakes with homemade strawberry jam.

    Recipe FAQs

    Can I make strawberry banana pancakes ahead of time?

    Yes! I love making a big batch of these pancakes on the weekend and reheating them throughout the week. Place the cooked pancakes into an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place them in the toaster oven or reheat them in the microwave.

    Can I freeze these pancakes?

    Yes! Allow the pancakes to cool completely and then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Freeze them until they are frozen solid and them place them in a freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. They can be reheated in the microwave or toaster oven.

    Can I use frozen strawberries?

    Yes! Frozen strawberries can be used instead of fresh strawberries. If you only have whole frozen strawberries, defrost them first so you can chop them into pieces.

    Can I make these with pancake mix?

    Yes! If you a mix like Bisquick mix at home, make the pancake batter as the directions state. In a small bowl, mash the banana. When the batter comes together, fold in the mashed banana and the chopped strawberries. Cook as the instructions state.

    Maple syrup is being poured onto the strawberry banana pancakes.
