• Cheesecake Blender Ingredients:
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup vanilla Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 eggs
• ¼ cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 cups milk (depending on how thick you like your pancakes)
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 
  Dry ingredients:
• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions:

1. Prepare Fresh Strawberry Ingredients according to recipe.
2. While syrup is simmering, add Cheesecake Blender Ingredients to blender and blend until smooth.
3. In a large bowl, sift together Dry Ingredients.
4. Pour the Cheesecake Blender mixture into the Dry Ingredients and whisk just until combined. Do not over mix - there should be small lumps. (If you like thinner pancakes, thin with more milk as desired, being careful not to overmix).
5. Heat a lightly greased large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour pancakes by the 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip with a spatula, and cook until browned on the other side.
6. Top with Fresh Strawberry Syrup.
