1. Fluffy Strawberry Pancakes
Is there anything better than a warm stack of light-as-air pancakes?
I love folding chopped fresh strawberries right into the batter for little bursts of sweetness in every bite.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
Instructions:
- Grab a big bowl and whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix up the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Pour this into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just mixed. Gently fold in those beautiful strawberries.
- Heat up a greased skillet or griddle over medium. Pour on 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake and cook until little bubbles pop up on top, about 2-3 minutes. Flip ’em and cook the other side till golden brown.
- Stack ’em high, drizzle with syrup, add a dollop of whipped cream, or pile on more berries – however you like! Then dig in and enjoy every heavenly bite.

10. Strawberries & Cream Overnight Oats
Overnight oats are a revelation for busy mornings.
You just stir everything together the night before, pop it in the fridge, and wake up to a delicious, no-cook breakfast!
