Strawberry Shortcake Pancakes – Sweet homemade & fluffy pancakes, bursting with fresh strawberries in every bite!
Your guests’ tastebuds will think they’ve died and gone to a tropical paradise.
You don’t have to tell anyone that such a beautiful and delicious breakfast is actually healthy! What they don’t know won’t hurt them.
Just stir all ingredients together in a bowl, ladle onto a greased skillet, and flip as soon as they start to bubble.
You can add some shredded coconut or mini chocolate chips if you wish, and I recommend topping the pancakes with homemade whipped cream!
I linked my favorite vegan-friendly whipped cream recipe below in the recipe, but feel free to use coconut whipped cream or even your favorite store-bought whipped cream if you prefer.
Their fatness rivals my Blueberry Pie Pancakes.
And I didn’t try to shape the one above into a heart; it just happened to fall that way!

I was not so sure about these at first, but I just made them, and they are amazing!!! I put in only 1/2 TBSP coconut Oil, just cause I dont like the taste of it, and they still turned out perfectly. I will be eating this a lot 🙂
I am curious whether anyone has tried vegetable oil instead of coconut oil and how these pancakes turned out? I want to make these so bad but would rather use up the oil I have than go by coconut oil. Let me know! (:
That’s fine 🙂
Hi Katie, I made these for Valentine’s breakfast for little guy who’s almost 2. He is SUCH a picky eater, and while he LOVES strawberries, I do like for him to eat more than just the actual berries. Enter your pancakes. He ate a few bites and then snacked on the rest all morning yesterday, and he’s working through a new batch today. And they’re healthy, so I can feel good about giving them to him (or a few bites to myself!) Thanks!
Hi Katie! I love your site! I especially love your simple pancake recipes. I was going to share that for the recipes that call for 1/3 C of flour (like this one), I usually cut that in half and fill the rest of the measuring cup with toasted wheat germ. It’s lighter than flour and I find it gives the pancakes that perfect golden-brown color when you cook them! Also, I made my ‘cheesecake sauce’ out of plain greek yogurt with a little sprinkling of cheesecake jello pudding powder! It was delicious! Just thought I’d share 🙂 Thank you!
Love them so simple and easy to make too kids <3 them… just like me!:*
I tried these with GF flour the first time and they were amazing! I then tried them last night with almond meal in place of the flour and they did not work. Recent started reading your blog, your recipes are great!
I just discovered your site 3 days ago. My daughter and I were in the mood for something “sweet” tonight and I came across these pancakes. I had some frozen strawberries and I said, “what the heck, lets give them a try”. I followed the recipe using Bob’s gf flour, unsweetened vanilla almond milk and stevia. (I also made sure to add the coconut oil) I doubled the recipe and we ended up with 3 good sized pancakes each and I topped them with sugar free maple syrup! WOW! These are the BEST sugar free, dairy free, gluten free pancakes I have ever tasted. They will forever be a part of my breakfast/dessert rotation. I can’t wait to try more of your recipes.
Hi Katie! I am not vegan, but I am all for finding tasty, healthier alternatives whenever possible. I have made many of your recipes and have had fabulous results with all! I have made the Strawberry Shortcake Pancakes twice now, served both times with just some local maple syrup. The first time, I made the recipe exactly as written. The second time, I had a bit of cooked quinoa left over, so I replaced the oats with about 1/4 C quinoa. They, too, were really good and gave the pancakes the same “bite” as the oats and a slightly different texture. Just thought I’d share!
Thank you for all the work you put into your recipes and your website. I am truly a fan!!
These sound great. Do you think you could come up with a buttermilk pancake recipe?
My two and four year old gobbled these up. We have “breakfast night” for dinner once a week and your recipes are a lifesaver! I made this simple strawberry syrup , which was also a hit (no cooking required) http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Simple-Strawberry-Sauce/Detail.aspx?prop24=RD_RelatedRecipes
