These strawberry chocolate chip pancakes are Ava’s favorite and the perfect way to kick off the day of love! She enjoyed making these and is excited to make them again for the big love in her life: her dad!

Bursting with the vibrant flavor of freeze-dried strawberries, the crunch of chopped pecans, and melty, gooey chocolate chips, each bite is a reminder that sometimes the best gifts come from the kitchen.

Whether you’re cooking up a surprise for your partner, gathering the family for a cozy Valentine’s breakfast, or treating yourself to something sweet (because self-love is just as important!), these luscious, love-filled pancakes will be a hit!
