I love pancakes. My kids love pancakes. I love strawberries. My kids love strawberries. I thought that maybe if I combined the pancakes and strawberries, I would get the vote for mom of the year. Well, my daughter cut into the pancakes and let out a big ol' sigh and said, "Moooooooom.... I don't like mushy fruit!" And she would not eat the pancakes. My son, who two seconds earlier said that he liked the pancakes said, "Umm, I don't like mushy fruit either." You'd think I was trying to feed them rotten mushroom pancakes with raccoon bacon for breakfast.
I loved these pancakes! They were moist, and the banana and strawberry flavor was delicious. The whipped cream on top was delicious, too. If you have picky eaters, perhaps you could leave out the strawberries from the batter and put them on top of the pancakes instead. That way you won't be shunned for the next year your children catch sight of a pancake and remind you of how you dared to make pancakes with mushy fruit. Gasp!
