There’s only one way to beat homemade pancakes, French toast or my kids’ favorite, a Dutch Baby…by whipping up a batch of syrup using frozen berries.
It works for blueberry syrup. Strawberry syrup. Or triple berry syrup like we did.
Use ANY frozen berries you like.
The results are delicious every time.
Plus, just a few chia seeds pack a one-two punch:
- Thickening agent
- Omega 3 boost (brain food!)

How to Make Pancake Syrup with Frozen Berries
This method works for ANY kind of frozen berry. And if you don’t want to use chia seeds to thicken (and add Omega benefits) substitute 1 tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in 1/4 cup of water.
