Pancakes are a cherished tradition in our household, especially during weekend brunches. Introducing strawberries to these vegan pancakes elevates their flavor profile remarkably.

Incorporating strawberries not only enhances the taste but also infuses vibrant color and a wealth of vitamin C and fiber into the batter. 

I often integrate strawberries into various recipes, from smoothies to desserts, for their nutritional benefits and delightful taste. 

On this note, I love baking my strawberry cake which is oil free and made from oat flour. Strawberry cheesecake protein smoothie is my favorite go to.

Adding homemade strawberry sauce and fresh strawberries imparts a unique twist to this protein-packed pancake recipe.

Ingredients

Ingredients notes 

Strawberries – ripe and fresh strawberries work best here. 

Chickpea flour – this adds protein and fiber and is also gluten free. Besan also known as gram flour can be used in this recipe. 

Oat flour – whole grain or certified gluten free oat flour works well here. This adds fiber and is a complex carb with being a low GI ingredient.

Maple syrup – it is a healthier option than processed regular sugar. 

Flaxseed meal – this adds omega 3 fatty acid and is a great egg substitute for making vegan pancakes. 

Hempseeds – Its a protein rich high fiber superfood. Hence, I created a no-protein powder protein pancakes by adding hempseeds in this recipe. 

Oat milk – any dairy free milk of your choice works here. However oat milk and hemp milk are the best options so as to make this pancake recipe nut free.

How to make

Firstly, in a nonstick pan , I combined hulled/pitted strawberries with maple syrup and lemon juice. Then, I let them cook at high flame until the strawberries were soft. Subsequently, with the help of a food masher I roughly mashed the strawberries in the pan and removed the pan from the heat. The, I let it cool for a little while.

Secondly, in a bowl, I combined chickpea flour, oat flour, baking powder, salt, hempseeds and mixed it well with a spoon. 

Thereafter, I added the soaked flaxseed meal and blended strawberries along with vanilla extract and oat milk into the flour mixture or dry ingredients. 

Afterwards, I whipped dry and the wet ingredients into a smooth batter. 

Further, I folded in fresh sliced strawberries into the batter. Then, I let it rest for 3 minutes. 

In the meanwhile, I warmed the nonstick pan or skillet over medium heat which I roughly greased with cooking spray. Cooking spray is optional depending on the type of pan you use. Then, I poured 1/4 cup of the batter over it and roughly shaped it with a spoon. Then, I let it cook until bubbles started to form at the top. 

Next, I flipped it to the other side with a flat spatula and let it cook again. 

Lastly, I scooped it on the serving plate. I repeated the above two steps for the rest of the batter. 

Later, I stacked them and garnished. My family devoured every bit of these satisfying and delicious strawberry sauce pancakes. 

I promise that these are the best strawberry pancakes and you will make them on rotation.
