I came home from our Florida trip to our Farm Fresh to You box put away in the fridge. I knew I was going to be home alone with the kids for the week while Hubby took a trip to Japan, so I ordered a nice box of fruit and veggies and basically just relied on my stockpile and bulk items to create a few things we could eat all week. I had gotten two boxes of fresh strawberries so I turned one into pancakes!

Usually if I put a little bit of chopped strawberries in a pancake I can't taste it all. This time, I put an entire 16 oz. box save a little for topping in this recipe.
WHAT YOU NEED:
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup rolled oats ground in food processor or oat flour
1 cup pecans chopped (or walnuts)
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons sugar (or coconut sugar)
3 cups non-dairy milk (I used soy)
4 tablespoons coconut oil or vegetable oil (plus some for your pan if you need)
1 teaspoon vanilla
16 oz. fresh strawberries chopped (save some for topping)
Yield 8-10 medium pancakes.
WHAT YOU DO:
In one bowl, mix your flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, oats, and pecans.
If coconut oil is used, warm it up in the microwave, or I just sit mine in a heat safe bowl sitting right on my hot skillet to turn it into liquid if it is not in a liquid state.
Dig a hole in the middle of your dry mixture and pour your milk and vanilla into the center. Slowly stir the dry ingredients into the milk. DO NOT over-mix. Do not worry too much about lumps. Over-mixing will result in a less fluffy pancake.
Once fully mixed, add in your liquefied coconut oil.
Then add your strawberries to your mixture.
Once fully mixed, add in your liquefied coconut oil.

Set your mixture aside and heat your skillet to low-medium. Coat your pan in a little coconut oil and pour your pancake on. Once bubbles form, it should be ready to flip. The correct temp pan will produce a golden brown pancake.

those pancakes look delicious
