What goes better with Saturday morning than pancakes?
Certainly alarm clocks, but giving the sleeping issues of yesterday, we set one to get a jump start on the day and wake up as fresh as possible. It was nice to be up with the sunrise!
It’s a gorgeous one for sure!
Matt scavenged for breakfast
And we plopped the strawbs in a dry skillet to simmer. They release juices and cook themselves in them. He added a sprinkle of sugar too.
Topped with the warm succulent strawberries, a wee bit of coconut, pecans and sunflower butter drizzle
And coffee #1!
I’m headed to the farmer’s market!! I haven’t been able to just leisurely walk there in weeks. Excited for a fun SUNNY Saturday!!
Sarah@The Flying ONION says
Mmm…strawberries offer their own natural form of syrup and I love that about them. So juicy and delicious. 😀
Happy Saturday!
Sara @ lemony snippet says
It seems so simple but I’ve never thought of heating strawberries to put over pancakes. Love it!
Lindsey @ Morningstar Project says
I was thinking the same thing. Heating strawberries with a touch of sugar never crossed my mind!
Megan says
I love any nut or seed butter on my pancakes! Takes them to a whole new level.
They look absolutely perfect!
Jeannie says
SO YUMMY — No fresh berries in New England yet, but will keep this in mind for June! Just polished off a bowl of your banana whipped oatmeal – my favorite. Seriously keep me full for hours. Do you ever take on clients? Your story really resonated with me. I am 38 & have 3 incredible kids ages 2-8. Am ready to move beyond the child-bearing years and back to peak fitness, but am struggling to lose 40 pounds. I love your approach with real food.
KathEats says
Hey Jeannie,
I’m not taking on clients as an RD right now, but thanks for asking.
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
Gorgeous breakfast! Love you garden too – it’s so neat that you can walk out and pick parts of your breakfast. Have fun at the farmer’s market!
Hannah @ Sweetly Fresh says
Those pancakes look so delicious — looks like they have lots of wholesome goodness bursting inside. Plus, those fresh strawberries look to-die-for. NUM. Have fun at the Farmer’s Market and enjoy the sun!
Julie (Food & Other Things) says
I love having pancakes on a Saturday morning! I’ll have to try topping mine with nut butter and strawberries…it looks so delicious!
Stella says
it looks like something is sprinkled into the batter…what is it? like cinnamon?
i <3 strawberries
what do you like about kodiak pancakes…where do you buy the mix?
KathEats says
Chia + flax mixed in.
I like the Kodiak because you just have to add water, so they’re quick and great for days when we’re out of milk
KathEats says
I got mine from OpenSky, but I hear it’s popping up in mainstream stores too
Stella says
cool thanks alot 🙂
katie @KatieDid says
ah its been raining here for about 2 weeks, no exaggeration and today is the first sunny day also! Its such a relief and I finally feel motivated to do things with my day. enjoy the farmer’s market!
Miranda @ Working Mom Works Out says
Those look amazing… We’re thinking about the Farmers Market today, too. I hope you have a lovely Saturday!
Lisa Fine says
I love fresh fruit for breakfast. As I’m writing this, my partner Steve is rearranging our strawberry plants, since we didn’t know they are like a weed and go crazy if they have too much space in the garden. So they’re getting their own little strawberry patch.
Can’t wait for a few weeks from now when I can try heating up strawberries too.
Laurie says
I am sitting here with my morning coffee..I want some of those pancakes to go with it!!!
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
Those pancakes look delicious — and warm strawberries? Sounds amazing. Enjoy your Saturday!
Gena says
I made some raw pancakes recently, but haven’t had cooked ones in ages. These look amazing and inspiring!
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
Those pancakes look great!! Enjoy your Saturday 😀
Khushboo says
I always plan to have pancakes for breakfast but come morning, I change my mind. Breakfast out of a bowl is more satisfying for me!
Tori (Fresh Fruition) says
Yum! Warm strawberries are so good on pancakes! The ruby red color is perfect to perk you up in the morning 🙂
Molly @ RDexposed says
I had my 2 year old nephews eating Kodiak cakes yesterday. They were a hit.
Stephanie @ StephSnacks says
Your Saturday morning breakfast certainly beat mine! A little greek yogurt on my end, but hey, it works 🙂
Natalia - a side of simple says
Love warm strawberries 🙂 But I love the farmer’s market EVEN more! Can’t wait for the ones around me to start opening up.
Lesley lifting life says
Wow that breakfast looks amazing!
Kristi @ KristiAteIt says
Just finished breakfast, and I’m wishing I made some warm strawberries! Those look delicious.

Yey for pancakes! I hope you have a wonderful day! 🙂
Beth@naturallyyoursbeth says
Sound like your weekend is off to an awesome start! Don’t you just love gorgeous Saturday and Sunday mornings! There is nothing like beautiful weather and a trip to the farmers market 🙂
kaila @ healthy helper! says
The pancakes look perfect but I actually don’t like cooked strawberries! gasp! There just to mushy for my taste!
Jil @ Big City, Lil Kitchen says
That looks like an incredible breakfast!!
staceyhealthylife says
I haven’t had Kodiak cakes in months. I ran out and haven’t restocked, those looks so good.
Jess (Sweet Potato) says
Your strawberries look amazing! Fresh berries are one of my favorite things about the summer
Averie (LoveVeggiesandYoga) says
Have fun at the farmers market. Looks like your morning is off to a great start.
The pink coffee mug is precious. Love it!
And those pancakes with nut butter and fresh berries….mmmmmmmm, good!
Katherine: Unemployed says
I mean I don’t know if you sing while cooking but some jack johnson is in order
Allie says
What a breakfast! Kodiak cakes and strawberries.. YUM 🙂
Have a great day Kath.
Lea @ Healthy Coconut says
Maybe Great Harvest should make whole grain/whole wheat pancake mix to sell since their special wheat mix creates such soft bread?
KathEats says
Done and done! And it’s FABULOUS too!!
Tessa @ Amazing Asset says
I really have to try Kodiak cakes, you make them look so so tasty! Have a great time at the farmer’s market, I wish it were sunny around here!
Keely (Sky Blue) says
These pancakes look amazing!!! I love the idea of simmering strawberries to use as a natural topping rather than with with all the added syrups and sugar. Looks yummyy–will definitely have to try soon!! Have a great Saturday!
Angel7 says
Your homegrown strawberries look awesome!
I have never had Kodiak cakes.

Ashley says
Yay farmers market!! Our’s doesn’t start til sometime in June. Kind of odd because there was a market all winter long and now there has been a big gap! At least I can still get my farm fresh eggs though!! 🙂 Breakfast looks divine. Jealous of that garden!!! Have a fabulous day, friend!
Chloe (South Beach Girl) says
I also set an alarm for this morning (which I rarely do) to get my day going and use the entire day to it’s max! I just might have to start implementing this into my weekend routine 😉
Alaina says
It is such a gorgeous day up here in Boston!! Just came back from walking around Harvard Square. 🙂
Those pancakes look unbelievable. I must make kodiak cakes soon!
lynn @ the actor's diet says
must be so fun to send matt out to pick berries. like hansel and gretel. without the scary witch/poverty part
Serena says
Love them strawbs! Kodiak cakes and sunflower buttah, mmm.
Abby says

Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says

Melissa @ Journey to Marvelous says
I’m going to check out the kodiak cake recipe! Hope your Saturday is great.
Justeen @ Blissful Baking says
Wonderful Saturday morning breakfast! I woke up late, and didn’t want to be late to my first body pump class, so I just had a little Greek yogurt topped with mango and kiwi for breakfast, but I always associate weekend breakfast with pancakes. I’ll definitely be whipping up some pancakes tomorrow!
Hannah says
Can’t decide what I want to steal more – the pancakes or the pretty pink mug!
Jenna says
Hey Kath! How do you melt your peanut butter?
KathEats says
It’s not melted – that’s just how TJ’s Sunflower Butter is.
Jenna says
Oh Gotchya! Well for other peanut butters that aren’t that drippy, how do you melt it?! This morning I had jif pb and just added a lil bit of water and heated it up in the micro and it seemed to work out well!
KathEats says
I don’t melt them – the only way to melt them is to plop them on something hot.
