Since Valentine's Day falls on a Sunday this year I thought these pancakes would be a perfect breakfast for my sweet little family. Of course, I had to make them a day early to get them on here in time. That's alright, I'll just have to figure out some other Valentine-y treat for tomorrow.
I'm so addicted to pancake squares. They are so much faster to prepare than regular pancakes.
The strawberry slices on top are supposed to look like hearts but they sank just a bit.
These would be great with either maple or strawberry syrup.

Pancake squares...a great idea, Kim. This is so much easier than trying to make pancakes the old way. What a timesaver and everybody has a hot cake at the same time. Very smart.
Another great idea of making pancakes quicker and prettier!
You are the most adorable mom ever! I love these - they are too cute. And look absolutely delicious.
So cute! The berries look like hearts, perfect for Valentine's Day.
These look lovely and light.
Perfect breakfast treats. I just realized that the strawberries cut lengthwise do look like hearts. hahaha... That had never occured to me.
Very clever idea. Looks great.

That is soooooo sweet. :) I am filing this away, because I know that tomorrow I am getting breakfast in bed (fruit salad and whole-grain toast--the 4-year-old spilled the whole lot of goods this afternoon, enraging my 8 year-old) but I know they will love this.
I've never heard of pancake squares before. Looks like a great idea. Pancakes can be so time-consuming sometimes.
Never in my life have I heard of baked pancake squares, but it sure sounds like a great idea! The strawberries sure looked like hearts to me. Cute Valentine's Day breakfast!
I love these! So much easier than making pancakes - especially if you have a lot to make.
Very Nice! Love the idea of baking them.
Yay! I think my comment is going through.
Happy Valentine's Day! These pancake squares look lovely.
Kim, pancake squares has to be one of the very best ideas I have ever seen. I cannot being to tell you how MUCH I LOVE this idea. Oh my gosh, soooo clever and convenient, with a world of possibilities. When I think of the number of pancakes I've mooshed up and the standing over the stove making the last of the batch while Ole Sweetie-Pi has already eaten his and is done, well, this solves a lot of my angst. LOVE LOVE LOVE this!
Happy VD (that always cracks me up - I guess I am 12 forever) this is a TRUE pan - cake
Awwwwwe, I'd eat those in a HEARTbeat! ha ha Pancakes in a pan - I just love that idea! Have a happy V-day yourself, girl ~ ♥♥
Kim, I've never seen these before. What a great idea. I'm thinking of breakfasts when the clan gathers in the summer. These would be perfect. Have a great day. Blessings...Mary

What a neat idea. I noticed the "hearts" immediately. Happy Valentine's Day!
I'd never heard of pancake squares. Awesome!
Awesome! I love how the strawberries look like little hearts in the pancake squares :)
The strawberries definitely loook like little hearts - saw that right away. Never made pancake squares - like the ease of them - and you don't need to wait for a special day to show your heart!

How cute! I was wondering how you make pancake squares - lol. My in-laws always make "dutch babies" for holidays which you probably know are baked in a pan too. I love the strawberries on top.
Hope you had a wonderful Valentines Day Kim!
XOXO

Oh wow...I love the idea of pancake squares! This does make life easier!
oh.. these just look crazy cute!!!
These are SO cute! And I love that you don't have to stand over the griddle flippin' cakes all morning. : )
How interesting! I've never thought to do pancakes in any shape other than round! I actually let my hubs take me out for brunch at our favorite local place (run by a good friend). But next week it's back to cooking for me, so I'll give these a go..but still waiting on strawberries to drop in price. ;( Hope you had a rockinsweet Valentine's Day!
What a perfect idea...love this today...you inspire sweet friend. xoxo
Ive never heard of pancake squares! what are cute idea. sunken strawberries or not, I bet they were yummy and love by all
Oh, those are cute, and such a clever idea. Maybe next year I can make my husband breakfast in bed for Valentine's!
They look delicious. And the berries look like little hearts. Stunning.
I always forget what you call pancakes in the UK we can flapjacks.
Ooo!!! Love this idea! You're such a good mommy.
