Raspberry pancakes ingredients
This raspberry pancake recipe requires only simple ingredients, and you're likely to have most of them in your kitchen. Here's everything you need to make them:
- All-purpose flour – we use regular, all-purpose flour. If you need, substitute a 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose blend.
- Sugar – granulated sugar gives these pancakes the perfect amount of sweetness.
- Baking powder + salt
- Egg – egg gives these pancakes structure and helps them rise.
- Milk – any milk or non-dairy alternative like soy milk, almond milk, or oat milk will work.
- Melted butter – melted butter keeps these pancakes moist and gives them a rich flavor. Use dairy-free if needed.
- Raspberries – fresh or frozen raspberries will both do the trick. If you use frozen, make sure to thaw them first and use paper towels to blot away any excess moisture.
- White chocolate chips – we love the combination of bright raspberries and sweet white chocolate chips. You can also use dark chocolate chips if you prefer.
- Butter, oil, or ghee – for greasing the pan.
How to make raspberry pancakes
These raspberry pancakes are perfect for slow summer mornings or special occasions like Mother's Day. Here's how we make them in a couple of easy steps:
- To start, whisk the dry ingredients together.
- Then mix the wet ingredients in a separate large bowl.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and stir them together gently until they're just combined. Fold in the raspberries and chocolate chips.
- Cook the pancakes in a non-stick pan with a bit of butter, oil, or ghee. They're ready to flip when the edges look dry and you can see air bubbles on the surface.
- Keep the pancakes warm in a low-temperature oven and serve them with maple syrup or raspberry pancake syrup and more raspberries. Yum!
Pro tips
To speed up the cooking, try using a couple of pans at a time. We usually cook four pancakes at a time, using one pan for each element on our stove. The cook time in the recipe card is based on using two pans at a time.
You can easily double or triple the batch for a crowd, and the leftovers freeze beautifully for a quick breakfast or snack.
Don't let the pancake batter sit after you mix it – start making the pancakes right away. This is because the baking powder is activated as soon as you mix it with the liquids and it will lose its power after a while. The longer the batter sits, the less fluffy your pancakes will be.
Variations to try
While we love the sweet-tart taste of fresh raspberries, you can certainly switch up the berries. Other berries that work well in this recipe are:
- Strawberries – chopped small
- Blueberries
- Blackberries
What to serve with raspberry pancakes
These raspberry pancakes are a deliciously sweet breakfast on their own or with other breakfast foods like sausage patties, scrambled eggs, and a latte.
While maple syrup and a few raspberries are all you need to serve them, we sometimes add a knob of butter or a dollop of Greek yogurt. You can also try them with our raspberry simple syrup. Delish!
Recipe FAQs
What's the best gluten-free flour to use?
Our go-to gluten-free flour blend is Bob's Red Mill gluten-free 1:1 flour which is widely available at grocery stores or online.
How do you freeze pancakes?
When they're cool, place them on a baking pan in a single layer in the freezer for about 30 minutes. Transfer them to an airtight container or reusable bag and store them in the freezer for up to a month!
How do you reheat frozen pancakes?
To reheat frozen pancakes, place them on a baking sheet in a 325-degree Fahrenheit oven until they're warmed through (about 6 minutes).

Yes! Frozen raspberries work just as well as fresh, and we find they're a more affordable option, too. Make sure to thaw them first then use paper towels to blot away any excess moisture.
