Fluffy Freezer Mixed Berry Pancakes
Once you see how easy it is to make homemade frozen pancakes you will make an extra batch every weekend.
My child and I love fresh, soft and fluffy pancakes any hour of the day; for either breakfast, lunch or dinner. It’s that one meal I know I can make and she will scarf down every single bite and not throw it on the floor for our dog to eat. 🐾I needed to have these pancakes available for those days I didn’t have the chance to make them fresh, which is essentially every fucking day, because let’s be honest, the mornings are just chaotic for practically everyone. So I tested out this pancake recipe for the freezer and the end results did not disappoint, it is one of the best pancake recipes, and trust me I have tested an assortment of different pancake recipes out there and none have ever turned out as fluffy as these did. The key to the fluffiness is the extra baking soda that's added to it.
Two important tricks to freezing pancakes are to make certain they are no longer hot and are chilled before you individually wrap each pancake up in parchment paper and freeze. This will prevent them from sticking together and leading to severe freezer burn on them. Now trust me, these two steps are vital, for the first time I froze pancakes I assumed this was a needless step, so I skipped it and low and behold they all stuck together and got freezer burnt to hell and back. What a freaking waste of time! Remember, use parchment paper and allow your pancakes to chill before placing them in the freezer.
There are 3 different ways you can reheat these pancakes up and there’s no need to de-thaw them:
1.) Set them into a toaster oven for a couple of minutes.
2.) Place them in the oven for about 5 minutes.
3.) Or wrap pancakes in a wet paper towel and stick in the microwave on high for about 1 to 2 mins.
Once your pancakes are warmed, you can then include your favorite toppings, it’s truly that simple.
~ Fluffy Freezer Mixed Berry Pancakes ~
Yields: 8-10 Pancakes
Prep Time: 10 Mins
Cook Time: 20 Mins
Pancake Ingredients:
• 3 Cups All Purpose Flour
• 2 Tbsp. + 1 Tsp. Baking powder
• 1/4 Cup Sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 6 Tbsp. Melted Butter
• 2 Cups Milk
Topping Ingredients:
• Raspberries
• Cut Up Strawberries
• Blueberries
• Dried Coconut Flakes
• Walnuts
• Maple Syrup
Instructions:
1.) Heat up a non-stick frying pan (one that is about the size you want your pancakes to be) and spray some non-stick cooking spray onto the pan.
2.) In a medium-size bowl combine together the dry ingredients; flour, baking powder, and sugar.
3.) In a separate bowl whisk together the wet ingredients; eggs, melted butter, and milk.
4.) Add the wet ingredients into your dry and whisk together till completely incorporated. The batter may be thick and lumpy but that’s ok. This helps to make the pancakes fluffy.
5.) Using a large scoop, drop the dispersed amount of batter onto your heated up pan.
6.) When the edges begin to set and a bunch of tiny bubbles starts to create on the top of the pancake it is time to flip it over. Cook about 1 to 2 mins on each side. The center should be firm and not squishy.
7.) Once pancakes are done cut up your strawberries, raspberries & blueberries and add to the top of your pancakes along with coconut, walnuts and maple syrup.
