Disclosure: I was asked to participate in the Yoplait More Fruit Campaign as a member of the Healthy Aperture Blogger Network. I was compensated for my time.
Light, fluffy and delicious, these easy Strawberry Vanilla Pancakes will be ready in under 30 minutes!
Raise your hand if you meal prep!
I do and now that I have been doing it so long, I realize it’s the only way to keep me on track.
One of the biggest thing I struggle with is being able to get a healthy breakfast on the table during the week. My kids are in 3 different schools and my mornings are hectic. I’d love to say I was whipping up vegetable omelets for my kids every morning but that would be very far from the truth. I now realize that if I don’t prepare something ahead of time, they would only be eating a bowl of cereal and milk.
Just keeping it real here, folks.
I love to make a bunch of pancakes, baked eggs or oatmeal cups so they have a somewhat healthy breakfast to jump start their day. I hadn’t made pancakes for a while and decided to try a fun new twist.
These pancakes are so easy and they reheat really well too. The best part is that they are lightly sweet so I just serve them with sliced strawberries and whatever other fruit they’d like and it’s done.
What I love about the Yoplait Original Yogurts are they have even more fruit in them. Your favorite strawberry yogurt that’s been around for years now has more fruit! I love how smooth, creamy and versatile Yoplait yogurt is. And I think these pancakes are proof of that!
I made a double batch of these fluffy pancakes and froze half of them. My kids were able to eat these for breakfast all week and boy were they happy.
