Fresh Strawberry Banana Pancakes

Reasons to love these strawberry banana pancakes

Strawberry and banana is one of the tastiest fruit combinations. My family absolutely adores this strawberry baked oatmeal and strawberry waffles for an easy breakfast. These pancakes are easy to whip up with just a few ingredients and are great for breakfast and also special occasions like Mother’s day brunch! You can also turn these into sheet pan pancakes and top with more strawberries and banana. If you are looking for a good side dish, I highly recommend these perfectly cooked scrambled eggs.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Tips for cooking pancakes perfectly!

First thing – bring eggs and milk to room temperature. You can warm up the milk in the microwave in 10 second increments. For the eggs, place in a bowl of warm water for 5 minutes. Be sure to mash the bananas well! Small lumps are ok. Do not over mix! Gently fold the dry and wet ingredients until just combined. Otherwise you will end up with chewy instead of fluffy pancakes. Let the batter rest for at least 5 minutes before cooking. Wipe out the pan between batches, especially if you are using butter, which tends to burn easily. Don’t rush it! You will know when they are ready when the bubbles start to form and the edges look set. To get that perfect flip, shove your spatula all the way underneath and turn them over quickly and confidently. Don’t be nervous. You got this ;).

Serving Suggestions

While delicious as is, you can top these pancakes with:

Maple syrup Fresh fruit (e.g. more banana slices, fresh strawberries or other berries) Jam (here’s a recipe for mango chia jam. You can make this with any fruit! Date syrup Yogurt Peanut/nut/seed butter (thinned out for babies)

Storage

Store in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer. Here’s how to freeze pancakes as well as reheat them so they taste just as good as the day you made them.
