Fluffy pancakes filled with strawberries – these Strawberry Pancakes are a sweet breakfast that tastes decadent! Top with syrup or more fresh berries for a special pancake breakfast.
While all breakfast recipes are my favorite, I always have a special place in my heart for pancakes! Want more pancake ideas? Try Oatmeal Pancakes with Chocolate Chips, Lemon Pancakes, or Red Velvet Pancakes.
We are a pancake loving family! At least once a week, my favorite pancake recipe graces our breakfast table.
But as much as I love those pancakes, sometimes you need to step it up a level. And that is where these Strawberry Pancakes come into play.
Fluffy pancakes, filled with fresh, juicy strawberries – this is really the perfect summer breakfast. Especially when you take it over the top by serving them with Strawberry Syrup!
So next time you feel like you are in a breakfast rut, give these Strawberry Pancakes a try!
Ingredients
- Flour: I use all-purpose flour.
- Brown Sugar: My regular pancake recipe uses granulated sugar, but I thought I’d try brown sugar for these pancakes and I loved it! But you could use granulated if that is what you have.
- Baking Powder: Make sure your baking powder is not expired so that your pancakes will get nice and fluffy.
- Salt: To balance the flavors.
- Buttermilk: The buttermilk gives the batter a great consistency and makes nice and fluffy pancakes. If you don’t have buttermilk, regular milk will work, but I would suggest making a buttermilk substitute.
- Eggs: You’ll want large eggs.
- Butter: I like the flavor from the butter and that it helps the pancakes brown. But you could use a neutral oil in place of the butter.
- Vanilla: Make sure it’s the good stuff!
- Strawberries: You’ll want to make sure you are using fresh, ripe berries. If the berries are not sweet, then they won’t be good in your pancakes.
How to Make Strawberry Pancakes
DRY: Mix together the dry ingredients.
WET: Mix together the wet ingredients.
COMBINE: Add the wet to the dry, and mix just until combined.
ADD: Gently mix in the strawberries.
COOK: Cook the pancakes on a griddle or a skillet until golden and fluffy.
Topping Ideas
In all honesty, these pancakes are pretty great just on their own. But if you want to take it to the next level, here are some topping ideas:
- Maple Syrup
- Strawberry Syrup
- Buttermilk Syrup
- Lemon Sauce
- Fresh Berries
- Whipped Cream
Strawberry Pancake Tips and Tricks
Never overmix your batter. You want to mix just until everything is combined.
I would only use fresh berries, not frozen. Frozen berries will be a lot wetter and will change the consistency of the batter.
I like to wait to preheat the griddle until my batter is completely made. That gives the batter about 10 minutes to sit for everything to activate.
If your pancakes are raw in the middle, turn the heat down on the griddle and let them cook longer.

Great idea…I love making banana pancakes, but I've never ventured into adding strawberries. I made blueberry pancakes a few weeks ago, and I have a carton of strawberries in my fridge that need to be used!

Looks tasty. The problem I've always had with baking with strawberries is that they seem to lose their flavor.
