Strawberry Vanilla Pancakes

Submitted by Cindi Marie Bauer

"These pancakes are made with fresh strawberries and pure vanilla extract. I happen to come across this recipe at 2 different recipe websites... allrecipes and Tasty Kitchen. While I enjoyed these pancakes, I do think you could cut back on the vanilla extract just a bit. The pancakes tasted great with maple syrup, but I also think they tasted even better with fresh strawberries and Reddi Wip Whipped Topping!"
