I love to get strawberries that are freshly picked, tasty from a local organic farm in my area. I look forward to picking the strawberries my self and we usually make it a fun family trip. 

The farm usually has a steady flow of people and we get to chit chat with other locals while we collect our strawberries in buckets. 

As soon as I head home, we get to dive in eating as much as we can, the rest we use to make these delicious healthy strawberry pancakes, we also use it to make Gluten-Free Vegan Strawberry Ice Box Cake, Vegan Strawberry Cobbler, Strawberry Banana Bread

Benefits Of Eating Strawberries

Strawberries are good for you and you should include more strawberries in your diet. these heart-shaped red fruits with their seeds embedded in their skin are high in Vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants called polyphenols. 

Vitamin C is shown to reduce inflammation in the body, improves the production of collagen which increases the elasticity of the skin, lower cholesterol levels, regulate blood pressure,  helps with weight loss,  and build the immune system. 

Strawberries contain folate which is good to reduce birth defects while the mother is pregnant.

Some Frequently Asked Questions

What Is The Trick To Fluffy Pancakes?

I find using oat flour in my vegan gluten-free pancakes results in fluffy pancakes, If you are gluten-free make sure to purchase Gluten-Free Oat Flour. Sifting the flours along will incorporate more air into the batter, making your pancakes lighter.

What Can I Add To Pancake Mix For Flavor?

Adding the fresh strawberries will add extra flavor to your batter, also you can add a combination of cinnamon, vanilla, and almond extract for more flavor. 

What Is The Most Popular Pancake?

Our most popular pancake is our Vegan Banana Oatmeal Pancakes.

Is It Better To Add Milk Or Water To Pancake Mix?

It is better to add vegan milk than water to your pancake mix, the milk will not only add flavor but will also add extra fat and moisture to your pancakes. 

How Do I Store My Pancakes?

  • Cool pancakes completely, place them in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 3 days
