Vegan Strawberry Pancakes from your own mix ( Or Vegan Blueberry Pancakes )

Vegan Strawberry Pancakes
 

On Saturday mornings, it's nice to have pancakes. We often opt for Blueberry Pancakes. In the winter,  I usually keep a bag of Frozen Blueberries from Aldi in the fridge and can easily throw in a handful of frozen berries into the batter for Blueberry Pancakes. In the summer, I use fresh berries if that makes more financial sense.

But, today I went to the freezer and discovered NO BLUEBERRIES!

So, I reached into the bag of Frozen Strawberries, rinsed them in warm water for a minute or two to soften them, and diced them - and tossed them into the batter.

They were quite lovely!

Storebought frozen Strawberries are a little tart - if you like sweeter ones you can use fresh, or sweeten them a bit before adding - or add a spoon of sugar to the batter - however you like them, they're delightful.

If you don't already have some of your own, homemade Vegan Pancake Mix on hand, here's the recipe.

From there, it's a simple matter of mixing in water or nondairy milk until it is the proper texture (use 1 cup mix to 1 cup liquid, and add a little more of one or the other if it isn't quite thick or thin enough - it should be pourable, but not watery). Then mix in your blueberries or strawberries - and you're off!

Some chopped Pecans would also go well in the Strawberry Pancakes.

Serve with Vegan buttery spread & syrup, if desired. (I like mine plain - with the fruit added I think they're perfect as-is)

Tip for dining with Omnivores: a bit of Whipped Cream would go well with these. And of course, they fit the traditional Omnivore breakfast with Eggs and Bacon or Sausage.
