- Customize your pancakes by adding a swirl of other flavored cream cheese spreads or fresh fruit in the batter.
- Serve them immediately for the best texture, or keep them warm in a low oven.
Variation
For a different flavor, try mixing in other fruit spreads, like raspberry or blueberry, instead of strawberry cream cheese. You can also top your pancakes with different kinds of fruit or even some chocolate chips for added sweetness.
