Because there is always a good reason for pancakes. Especially the fluffiest buttermilk pancakes (made easy by just adding water!) with gingered strawberries and cream! These strawberries have a hint of ginger candies and I love a good dollop of vanilla greek yogurt on my pancake stack as well. SO GOOD and slightly addicting, too. Oh, and don’t forget that drizzle of pure maple syrup on top.
In our house, we’re a fan of pancake days. Maybe it’s partially the fact that the name pancake has the word “cake” in it or the delicious and truly versatile flavor options, but pancake days always feel like a celebration!
From weekend breakfasts, to brunch, to every holiday, these easy buttermilk pancakes can fit in anywhere, anytime!
In fact, sometimes while meal planning, we like to add breakfast for dinner to the meal plan lineup, and our kiddos get just as excited, especially when pancakes are involved.
And proud mama moment – my kids oftentimes make the buttemrilk pancakes, for the whole family.
We’ve been using for a long time now, the whole ease of “just add water” has made it my go-to for easy, fluffy buttermilk pancakes every time. Plus, I can count on their delicious, quality ingredients, with no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.
It’s a win for me as a mama, both from a “no added junk” perspective and the fact that my little ones can whip them up themselves!

My whole family loves strawberries and cream… everything. And my kids are also fans of ginger candies. This mix of both worlds creates such a fun flavor topping for buttermilk pancakes and gives that quintessential strawberries-and-cream taste, with a twist.
To get all of the flavor combinations, start by whipping up fluffy Krusteaz pancakes, top with a dollop of vanilla greek yogurt (which also gives some added protein!), add gingered strawberries on top (recipe below), and of course you can’t forget a drizzle of maple syrup to complete.
