These 3-ingredient strawberry fritters say welcome to the weekend. With fewer items to add than regular ol’ pancakes, they’re packed full of flavor–and practically all fruit so you don’t even need syrup.
Like our blueberry-apple version, these easy fritters make healthy finger foods for babies and toddlers, not to mention a no-sugar snack for any kid anywhere.
But one of my favorite things about these simple strawberry fritters is that my eight-year-old can whip them up herself. She’s mastering the art of sliding a spatula under all that soft batter with enough heft to get it up and over. I love seeing her concentrate, building a reserve of confidence that will serve her well for a whole lifetime to come.
Not bad for a banana and a handful of strawberries.
Tip: If you make these ahead of time, heat them up in the broiler on low for about 1 minute and they’ll be as good (and fresh) as new.

Was looking for something just like this to use a ripe banana for a weekend breakfast! 5 year old loved helping making and eating these 🙂 we had cherries instead of strawberries and they were a bit sticky due to the cherry juice but a little bit of extra flour to help make them into a ball was the trick. They turned out very well, no leftovers! Thanks!
Definitely trying this! Can you freeze them too?
