These fluffy strawberry cheesecake pancakes combine the creamy tang of cheesecake with fresh strawberries for a perfect brunch treat that’s both indulgent and comforting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk (2% milk can be used)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 ounces (115 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1–2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for cooking

Instructions

  1. Soften the cream cheese by leaving it at room temperature for 30 minutes or microwaving in 10-second bursts until soft but not melted. Chop fresh strawberries into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs with the milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Add the softened cream cheese to the wet mixture and mash gently to keep small creamy pockets.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chopped strawberries gently, reserving a few for topping.
  7. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add about 1 teaspoon of butter, letting it melt and foam without burning.
  8. Using a ¼ cup (60 ml) scoop, pour batter onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  9. Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while finishing the batch.
  11. Serve stacked pancakes topped with reserved strawberries and optionally drizzle with maple syrup or dust with powdered sugar.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender. Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing. Medium heat is best to avoid burning. Let batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. If batter is too thick, add a splash more milk. Pat strawberries dry if too wet to avoid soggy batter.
