Ingredients

Batter Base

2 cups all-purpose flour (or half whole wheat, half all-purpose)

1 to 1½ cups milk (dairy or plant-based)

2 large eggs

3 tablespoons melted butter (or neutral oil)

2 tablespoons sugar (brown or white)

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda (optional, if using buttermilk)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Pinch of salt

Fruit Add-ins

1–2 ripe bananas, mashed (½ to 1 cup)

1–2 cups fresh strawberries, finely chopped

Toppings (Optional)

Fresh sliced bananas

Fresh strawberries

Maple syrup or honey

Whipped cream or yogurt

Powdered sugar

Instructions

Prepare the Batter

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, sugar, and salt.

In another bowl, combine milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined.

Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine for fluffy pancakes.

Add the Fruit

Fold in mashed bananas gently into the batter.

Add chopped strawberries and mix lightly to distribute evenly.

Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes for better texture.

Cook the Pancakes

Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.

Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake.

Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.

Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown.

Repeat with remaining batter.

Serve

Stack pancakes on a plate.

Top with fresh bananas, strawberries, and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey.

Add whipped cream or powdered sugar if desired.

Serve warm.
