How sweet it is that strawberry season is upon us again. We hadn't gone to pick our own strawberries in many years but yesterday that's what we did. A thunderstorm put a slight damper on our picking but we still came home with a big flat full of fresh berries. Darlene's going to make jam with most of them but we definitely had to have some fresh ones too. I imagine it's been done before but last night I had the idea to make pancakes for breakfast and blend some fresh strawberries in with the soy milk I used for the batter. These came out delicious and I wrote down the recipe so I could make it again - and share it with you of course!1 c. soy milk
1 c. fresh strawberries
2 Tbs. ground flax seeds
3 Tbs. canola oil
3 Tbs. water
1 c. all purpose flour
1/2 c. whole wheat pastry flour
1 Tbs. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 Tbs. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
Blend soy milk, berries, flax, canola oil and water in a blender. Add to all the dry ingredients that you've mixed together in a big bowl. Use a quarter or third cup measure to drop them in a lightly greased skillet and cook until they're nice and brown on both sides. We served ours with more fresh strawberries, a drizzle of maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Where can I go strawberry picking? I just moved to charlottesville...
These pancakes look awesome!
oh wow! What a great idea! I can't wait to try this! It's fun picking strawberries, isn't it? We live in a major strawberry producing area, so ever since I was pretty little, my friends and I have gone berry picking on my birthday. This year, I'll definitely make some strawberry pancakes!
wow! you rock Chris! I am new to both the blog and linking thing.

Welcome to C-ville vegmama! We went to Critzers, near Afton. You can find info on them and a few other U-pick places here.
Thanks for the tip!
You know- there's PLENTY of cherries here, i bet this would be good with those too!
