Strawberry Pancakes

My two favorite things – strawberries and pancakes! I know we have quite a few pancake recipes on the blog (5 to be exact, this makes 6), but who doesn’t love light pink fluffy goodness! These babies are obviously clean and gluten-free so don’t be afraid to whip some up! How much fun would these be to make for yourself and your family on Valentine’s day?

Strawberry Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 7 medium strawberries, stems removed and quartered
• 2 TBSP water

—–

• 1 1/4 c gluten free oat flour
• 2/3 c unsweetened applesauce
• 2/3 c coconut milk (you could also substitute original, unsweetened almond milk)
• 1/2 c unsweetened, plain 2% greek yogurt
• 2 egg whites
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp baking powder

Directions:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine strawberries and water on medium to medium low heat and bring to a boil. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning of strawberries. 

2. Cook strawberries for 4-5 minutes until strawberries are very soft and begin to breakdown, resembling strawberry jam.

3. Meanwhile, combine dry and wet ingredients (in second list) in a large bowl with a whisk. 

4. Remove strawberries from heat and using a fork or a potato masher, gently mash the strawberries.

5. Combine strawberries with pancake mix (step 3). 

6. Cook pancakes as you would normally on a griddle or stovetop.

Makes approximately 15 – 3″ diameter pancakes.

Serving size is approximately 5 pancakes.
