The Best Yumblink Pancakes recipe you will fall in love with. Full of tips and tricks to help you make the best pancakes.
There’s just something magical about pancakes on a lazy Saturday morning, especially when they’re filled with sweet strawberries and melty chocolate chips. These Strawberry Chocolate Chip Pancakes are my weekend love language. They’re fluffy, fruity, and just the right amount of chocolatey. Plus, they’re made with simple ingredients and a little twist of cinnamon for warmth. I like to top mine with coconut yogurt, extra berries, and a big drizzle of maple syrup. Honestly, it feels like dessert, but it’s totally breakfast-approved!
Method
1. Make the Batter
Start by grabbing a medium mixing bowl. Crack in the two eggs, pour in the milk, then add your dry ingredients: gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, a dash of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Using a whisk or fork, stir everything together until the mixture is completely smooth with no lumps. The batter should be thick but pourable if it feels too thick, add a splash more milk to loosen it up. This base will give your pancakes that soft, fluffy texture we all love.
2. Heat the Pan
Place a non-stick skillet or pan on the stove over medium heat. Let it warm up for a minute or two. To keep the pancakes from sticking and to help them cook evenly, lightly grease the surface with a little butter or oil. Swirl it around or use a paper towel to spread it into a thin layer. A properly heated and greased pan is key to getting golden edges and a soft center.
3. Portion the Pancakes
Once your pan is ready, use a small ladle or tablespoon to scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter onto the pan for each pancake. This size is just right for keeping them manageable and allowing for even cooking. Spread the batter gently with the back of the spoon if needed to make a nice circle.
4. Add the Fillings
Before flipping, place a few slices of fresh strawberries and a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips right into the center of each pancake. Don’t mix them into the batter beforehand this way, they stay right in the middle and don’t sink or stick to the pan. The strawberries bring a pop of fruitiness, and the mini chips melt into little pockets of chocolatey goodness.
5. Flip and Finish Cooking
Watch closely for small bubbles to form on the surface of each pancake and for the edges to begin looking set. This usually takes about 1–2 minutes. That’s your sign it’s time to flip. Use a spatula to gently turn each pancake over, being careful not to splash the fillings. Let the second side cook for another 1–2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as needed to keep them from browning too quickly.
6. Repeat and Serve
Continue with the rest of the batter, adding a little more butter or oil to the pan if needed between batches. Once all your pancakes are done, stack them up and serve them while warm. I love topping mine with a big scoop of coconut yogurt, extra strawberry slices, and a generous drizzle of maple syrup but feel free to make it your own!

minutesIngredients
2 eggs
½ cup milk (any kind you like)
½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking powder
Dash of cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Sliced strawberries (for filling + topping)
Mini chocolate chips (for filling)
Butter or oil for greasing the pan
Optional toppings: coconut yogurt, maple syrup
Directions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter onto the pan for each pancake.
- Before flipping, place a few slices of strawberries and some mini chocolate chips in the center of the pancake

- Repeat with the rest of the batter.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings. I love mine with coconut yogurt, fresh strawberries, and maple syrup!
Notes
- Don’t overcrowd the pan; small pancakes cook more evenly.
- Make sure the pan is hot but not smoking; too much heat can burn the pancakes before they cook through.
- Add the strawberries and chocolate after pouring the batter into the pan this keeps them from sinking to the bottom of the bowl.
- Flip only once; flipping too early or too often can break your pancake apart.
- Use mini chocolate chips they melt faster and more evenly inside the pancake.
Serving Suggestions
- A dollop of Greek or coconut yogurt makes them feel extra fancy.
- Top with chopped nuts for crunch.
- Add a sprinkle of powdered sugar for a café-style finish.
- Serve with a side of scrambled eggs or fruit salad for a full breakfast plate.
Fun Fact
Did you know strawberries aren’t actually berries? That’s right! Botanically, they’re considered “aggregate fruits” because their seeds are on the outside. But no matter what science says, they’re definitely the star of the show in these pancakes!

They’re perfect for slow mornings, brunch with friends, or even a sweet breakfast-for-dinner moment. Whether you stack them high or eat them straight from the pan (no judgment!), they’ll definitely bring some extra joy to your day. Happy flipping!
