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 never write comments, but considering how good these were I just had to.
This is the second recipe I’ve tried from your site and I’m blown away. (The first was the Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Baked Oatmeal, but, to be honest, it was bit too chocolatey for me. However I did not want to leave that as my first comment as your blog is title “chocolate-covered Katie”)
I’m not vegan, vegetarian nor need to lose weight, just a ballerina with a serious sweet tooth who can’t really eat normal sweets becuase it causes weight gain. These recipes are prefect for that. They’re healthy and yet have enough sweetness to satisfy me.
I made these today and totally forgot the sugar, didn’t even think use the oil and added no toppings, but they didn’t lack any type of sweetness at all [I did throw a small handful of chocolate chips inspired by your opening comments. If figured if the only think stopping them from being the best was the lack of chocolate, I could fix that]. They tasted like strawberry crepes! (And I love love love crepes). Plus it completely filled me up. I had to force the last two bites down.
I will be calling these “Strawberry Crepe Pancakes” from now on, since I’ve never had shortcake. I hope you don’t mind. I can’t wait to try more pancakes (And this is from someone who thought they hated pancakes a day ago)
(p.s. my last one ended up looking like a heart too (https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-pt_SJAbfEWc/UDEV8wfgmYI/AAAAAAAAGFs/tDIkVe-ciOc/s512/strawberry%2520heart.jpg. I took it on my iphone and didn’t touch it up, so it kind of, blah, lol)
And congrats on your latest publication)
So cute! I love it 🙂
Strawberry crepe pancakes sound good to me!
Just made these for myself and my husband. They are AMAZING!!!! My husband loves regular pancakes and usually requests them while I make myself a healthier version. I just made these without asking him first and he was blown away! Thanks!
i like it
i reliy like ur website and i am the lover of chocolte and cakes
Hi Katie. I love these pancakes! Question: everytime I have made them they seems to be a bit gooey and underdone. Yet they are burning on the top. Any tips for me? Thanks 🙂
Make them smaller, and flatten a bit?
Do you think you could put these in a waffle iron and they would still come out…you know….like a waffle?
I think another commenter tried and said it worked but they just stuck a little. So maybe grease the iron well? And report back! 🙂
It definitely works; I tried this a while back because I love waffles! You may need to cook them longer than usual because when the indicator light came on they definitely weren’t done yet (it seemed like the extra moisture in the strawberries kept it a bit gooey), but be patient and they should turn out! 🙂
I just made these strawberry shortcake pancakes today. Wow! They were surprisingly delicious for something so healthy. Although I did have to add more flour because the batter was too liquidy and add more sugar because they weren’t sweet enough with just the stevia. Thank u Katie!
Btw was this recipe made for one serving or two?
single-serving.
Just gotta say, I made these this morning, and they were to die for! Topped them with your strawberry glaze recipe (SO easy!!) from your pop tart recipe, with the leftover strawberries, and whipped cream! SO delish! Will definitely be making again! You are the best Katie!!

Thank you so much for this amazing recipe! I am a huge pancake fan and have always strived to create healthier versions of the popular breakfast food. Nothing beats fresh strawberries, pancakes (in shortcake form) and a yummy filling! I followed the recipe except added some vanilla protein powder/nonfat cottage cheese for a bit more texture. I made the filling from nonfat Chobani yogurt, chia seeds, vanilla creme stevia and a splash of unsweetened almond milk. I was in heaven!!! This is my new favorite, and again, thank you :)!
Hi Katie! I calculated this recipie with having 263 calories 2.6 grams of fat using sugar and Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk. Also, without the coconut oil. 🙂
Okay girl, second recipe tried! Oh, and guess what, I Love Them!!! On to the next one.
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!
