Directions
Tos the strawberries, oats, Greek yogurt, applesauce, egg whites, chocolate chips, almond milk, baking powder, cinnamon, almond extract, and a pinch of salt into a blender. Blend everything until you get a smooth batter that’s a little runny. Heat up a skillet over medium-high and give it a quick spray with some cooking spray. Pour about a quarter cup of the batter into the pan and let it cook until you see bubbles forming on top, which should take around 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the pancake carefully and cook the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes, until it’s nicely browned. Transfer the finished pancake to a rack to cool a bit, then keep going with the rest of the batter until you’re done. Enjoy!
Serving Ideas For Family Meals
Serve warm with a dollop of extra strawberry Greek yogurt on top. Fresh fruit like sliced bananas or berries pairs wonderfully. A drizzle of honey or maple syrup can add extra sweetness if desired.
Leftover Storage Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a toaster or microwave to keep them soft. For longer storage, freeze pancakes separated by parchment paper and thaw before reheating.
