Instructions
For the Strawberry Sauce

- Using a blender, combine the flour, buttermilk, egg, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt until smooth. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Gently stir in the cheesecake pieces, keeping them whole.
- Use the cooking spray to coat a large nonstick skillet or griddle. Heat it over medium heat.
- Pour about ¼ cup batter into the skillet for each pancake, working in batches.
- Cook about 4 minutes or until bubbly on top, then flip and cook about 2 more minutes or until the other side is golden brown.
- Transfer the finished pancakes to a baking sheet and keep warm in the pre-heated oven.
- Serve the pancakes topped with the strawberry sauce, whipped cream, and extra berries.
