How to Make Strawberry Shortcake Pancake Stack
Step 1: Prepare the Pancake Batter
Combine the pancake mix and water in a mixing bowl. Stir gently until just combined. The batter should remain slightly lumpy to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
Step 2: Cook the Pancakes
Lightly coat a non-stick skillet or pancake griddle with olive oil spray and heat over medium heat.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot pan. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
Repeat until all of the batter is used. You should have approximately 3–4 pancakes.
Step 3: Make the Yogurt Whip
In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and sugar-free syrup. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Assemble the Pancake Stack
Place one pancake on a serving plate.
Spread a layer of yogurt whip over the pancake and top with sliced strawberries.
Repeat the layers until all pancakes are stacked. Finish with an extra drizzle of sugar-free syrup and serve immediately.
