How to Make It

These Almond Butter Pancakes with Fresh Strawberry Purée are a delicious breakfast dish and by making a few simple substitutions, they are a perfect option for a hearty breakfast that fits in with my wellness goals. To start my Almond Butter Pancakes, I mixed together my whole wheat flour and baking powder in a bowl. Next, I added my almond milk, eggs, vanilla extract and olive oil to my mixer. After blending these ingredients together, I pulled out my MaraNatha Creamy No Stir Almond Butter and measured it out into a measuring cup.

Made with only the finest heart-healthy California almonds that are roasted to perfection and double ground to velvety smoothness, this almond butter is creamy and delicious and doesn’t require stirring to get the perfect spoonful from the MaraNatha jar!

After measuring out my MaraNatha Almond Butter from Walmart, I poured it into my milk mixture while continuing to blend it, ensuring that my almond butter was perfectly incorporated into the liquid components of my ingredients.

Once my wet ingredients were well combined, I added my dry ingredient back in and mixed them all together just long enough to incorporate them (Note: Do not over-mix. Your batter should be slightly lumpy). As soon as my batter was mixed, I scooped it out in heaping spoonfuls onto my skillet that was preheated to medium heat.

These Almond Butter Pancakes don’t take long at all to cook which is perfect because they smell so amazing that you’ll be drooling while you’re cooking them. After about two minutes, I flipped my pancakes (look for bubbles in the top of our batter to know when to flip) and cooked the other side. As soon as my pancakes were a golden brown on both sides, I removed them from the griddle and added a stack to my serving plate to prepare my family’s breakfast.

Now that I had the perfect pancakes that don’t have tons of added sugar and instead boast the protein packed, delicious taste of almond butter in every bite, I decided to continue on with my substitutions and forgo the butter and syrup for some fresher toppings. I quickly cut the tops off of my strawberries and added them to my blender, turning them into a delicious fresh strawberry purée. As soon as my purée was complete, I drizzled a little more MaraNatha Almond Butter and my Fresh Strawberry Purée over the top of my Almond Butter Pancakes.

After topping my delicious dish with a fresh strawberry purée, my stack of Almond butter Pancakes that will feed the whole family was ready to serve up! I paired it with a side of my fresh strawberry purée in case anybody wanted to add more fruit and my dish was ready to be enjoyed.

Let me tell you, these Almond Butter Pancakes with Fresh Strawberry Purée are delicious and satisfying and a perfect, better-for-you way to start the day.

Their light, fluffy taste is amazing and the combination of the nutty almond butter flavor and the freshness of the strawberry purée is a perfect combination that is worth getting out of bed for!
