How to make strawberry pancakes
- In a large bowl, combine pancake mix, protein powder, egg, vanilla and soy milk. Fold in fresh strawberries into the pancake mix.
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium -low heat. Once the pan becomes hot, grease with 1 teaspoon of butter. Add 1/4 cup of the pancake mixture at a time. Let cook until the top of the pancake begins to create bubbles and the edges have set. Carefully, flip the pancake using a spatula. Let cook for about 1-2 minutes or until both sides are golden brown. Repeat steps with remaining pancake batter.
- Serve warm with strawberry sauce.
For the strawberry sauce
- Place all ingredients in a sauce pan and bring up to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it begins to boil, bring the heat to low and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture becomes thick and strawberries brake down completely.
- Strain the mixture and reserved tightly sealed in the fridge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Once you have made the sauce, let it cool and keep it covered in the fridge. It will keep well for up to 3 or 4 days and is delicious when added to some vanilla ice cream!
You can use fresh or frozen strawberries to make the sauce, but it’s best to use fresh strawberries for the pancakes. If you use frozen strawberries in the pancake batter, they will release too much moisture.
Pancakes are always best served when they are freshly cooked. If you have leftovers, you can place them in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 6 months. Pancakes can be reheated in the microwave or the oven.
Recipe Notes and Tips
- Don’t over mix the pancake batter. There should be no dry flour in the mixture, but it’s fine to have lumps in it.
- Don’t have the pan on too high a heat to cook the strawberry pancakes, otherwise the outsides will cook too quickly and the middle will be raw.
- If making the strawberry sauce ahead of time, let it cool completely before storing.
