These were wonderful. My kids loved them.
Glad you enjoyed them, they really are fun to make and delicious!
Thank you! I just made these for my daughter and myself! Heaven! The base recipe tasted like these pancakes we used to get at a restaurant in Northern New York that I was crazy for when I was pregnant! I’m so happy to find these to make at home (now that we’re in Ohio)!!!
Brandy, so glad you liked them!! Enjoy! :))
Can’t wait to make these for valentines day!
these look delish! I’m thinking of making them for my mom’s birthday breakfast.. love the addition of the strawberries, that makes them healthy, right? 😉
Hi Chelsie! To make my pancakes a little healthier, I add in a tablespoon of ground flax seed or use half gluten free flour. I make my own gluten free flour by grinding quinoa or millet seeds in my blender. You can try this out, it ads a nice taste as well as some fiber!
Made these as a special Valentine’s breakfast but I used unsweetened almond milk and Earth Balance buttery spread instead. Super yummy!
These were delicious. Made them for my daughter and ended up eating one myself. very tasty. Loved how the sugar made the batter just slightly sweet to the taste and then with the sprinkles it was just that perfect touch that they needed. Will make these again!
Glad you liked them Lisa! They seem to be a big favorite on Better Baking Bible!
Thinking of doing this for my son bday breakfast what is that frosting or glaze u have on top? Also I’m allergic to eggs can I substitute? Thanks!
Hi! The frosting is regular store bought whipped cream. For each egg you can use 1/3 cups apple sauce or 1/4 cups mashed bananas. I usually use bananas and it turns out great and doesn’t even have a banana taste!

Making these for breakfast on my son’s 2nd birthday on August 15, 2014! Can’t wait! They look so yummy!!
Glad you like them Jennifer, they are kid’s favorites!
Just to recap. Can I mixup a batch of this and leave it overnight in the fridge and cook in the morning? I thought they won’t puff up if the batter is left too long. Thanks
Hi Fiona,
Yes you can! Just make sure to cover the bowl with plastic wrap so it’s air tight. Or put it in a plastic container, sealed. You can also wait till the batter is at room temp before making and you may need to add a hint of water to thin it out. If the top of the batter turns a little brown from being left out over night, its totally fine!
I want to make these for my mom in-law as a birthday breakfast! The problem is I don’t have an electric mixer 🙁 am I able to mix with a whisk or nutribullet? Thanks for your time!
Hi Mandi,
Yes you can use and hand mixer – I do it all the time! Just make sure to whisk it good enough so there are no lumps and everything is smooth!
My 4 year old son enjoyed helping me make it from scratch!! and it tasted devine!!!
Arafa, glad you liked it! These are one of our top favorites on the blog!

This recipe is so much fun! My son loves and loves helping me make them. And since it’s fresh strawberry season in Lithuania we’ll be having a lot of these! Thank you for the idea!
Glad you like the recipe Jurga! Using in-season fruits for recipes is the best way to go 😀
Fab recipe! Question – do you have to use kosher salt? I can’t seem to get it here in the UK!
Hi, no you don’t you can use regular salt!
