How To Make Strawberry Banana Pancakes
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.

- 3 tablespoon Butter Melted
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

- Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. It's ok if there are a few lumps left in the batter. These will likely be from the mashed banana.
- Cut the strawberry into small pieces and add them to the batter. Fold the strawberries into the batter, but try not to mash them.
- Preheat a large skillet or a griddle over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of butter to the hot pan. Use a non-stick pan if you can which will prevent the pancakes from sticking.
- 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.
