Raspberry Pancakes are light and fluffy, with just the right amount of tartness. These pancakes are stunning and would be perfect for breakfast, snacks, or even a school lunch.
To prepare these Raspberry Pancakes, head to your local farmer's market and pick up a few fresh red raspberries to include in the batter. This gives kids a sense of ownership in the kitchen, whether it's choosing the ingredients or mixing the batter, which makes them more eager to try any dish. Even so, getting kids to eat sweet, tasty pancakes isn't tough!
These pancakes are one of my favorites since, despite being pancakes, I attempted to make them as nutritious as possible. Raspberry berries are also high in fiber, vitamin C, and manganese, as well as having anti-inflammatory characteristics, so you can feel good about providing them to your family. You could also use other seasonal berries like strawberries, blueberries, cherries, or a combination of them in this recipe.

Pancakes are a breakfast item that you can cook virtually every weekend. There are countless ways to enjoy a pancake, and you can come up with new ones. Chocolate Pancakes, Quick Oatmeal Pancakes, Cottage Cheese Pancakes, and Gluten-Free Banana Pancakes are just a few of my favorites, in addition to these Raspberry Pancakes.
If you'd rather have waffles than pancakes, use this batter in your waffle iron and enjoy! You may also leave the finished pancakes (or waffles) warm on a baking sheet in a 250° oven while you complete the rest of the batch.
