Mixed Berry Pancakes
There’s something I really enjoy about starting the day with fresh breakfast fruit. They’re bright and sweet, and can be added to any number of recipes, like in these mixed berry pancakes.
Pancakes have to be one of my boys’ favorite breakfasts. They are super easy to make, they don’t make a huge mess in my kitchen, and they are ready to eat in very little time at all.
But, the best part about making them (in MY opinion) is that you can double or triple a pancake recipe and then freeze the extras. They cost a fraction of what you’d pay to buy them frozen at the store.
Berry Pancakes
You’ll need the following ingredients to make this recipe:
- flour
- sugar
- baking powder
- salt
- milk
- eggs
- butter
- strawberries and blueberries
- coconut or vegetable oil (optional)
Start by whisking the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add the milk and the eggs, then whisk to combine. Then, add the melted butter.
Whisk once more and then let the batter rest while the griddle or pan heats. Be careful not to overbeat the pancake batter! Small lumps are fine. This is a very thick batter and the berry pancakes will thin out as they cook on the griddle.
Stir in the strawberries once your electric griddle (this is my favorite griddle) or nonstick skillet is almost ready (medium heat). Oil your cooking surface generously, using about a tablespoon of oil.
Pour the batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Then, scatter blueberries onto them. Let them cook until the batter begins to bubble on top, and they are lightly browned on the bottom.
Then, flip and cook the second side until golden brown. Serve them warm with the toppings of your choice. At my house, that includes butter, peanut butter, whipped cream, maple syrup, and more fruit!
Fruit Breakfast Ideas

My kids adore these lemon blueberry sweet rolls. And, these raspberry cream cheese sweet rolls are sure to impress at your next brunch.
