After a long week of on-the-go breakfasts, who doesn’t love a slow weekend brunch? It’s an opportunity to be more creative and whip up something indulgent to start the day. But even if you love cooking, you might not want to spend hours in the kitchen working on a meal that your family devours in five minutes flat. Luckily, stores like Trader Joe’s always have exciting new options that can upgrade your brunch spread without costing you a lot of time.

We love that their hash brown patties can be used in a cheesy ham bake or as a crispy layer in a breakfast Crunchwrap casserole. There’s always a variety of breakfast staples to stock in your fridge and pantry, plus easy favorites to keep on hand, like their Ube Mochi Waffle Mix. Just in time for summer, Trader Joe’s has a new pancake and waffle mix that’s big on fruit flavor.

For a limited time, customers can find boxes of new Strawberries & Creme Pancake & Waffle Mix on store shelves. In addition to the buttermilk powder and creamy white chocolate chips, the new product also has something that the beloved grocer says they weren’t seeing in mixes: actual strawberries. Complete with freeze-dried strawberries for a flavor that keeps its namesake at the forefront, this mix is sure to be a hit.

Instagrammer @traderjoesobsessed recently shared a photo of a fully loaded waffle made with the new mix. “SOO GOOD!! I’m def going back to stock up” said one commenter. “Omg looks so cute. my kids would love this!” another follower added.

All you will need to add is milk, eggs, and oil for a complete batter that’s ready to use. Top your finished pancakes with a big scoop of homemade whipped cream and fresh chopped strawberries or double down on fruit flavor with a pour of strawberry syrup.  For a more decadent version, add a drizzle of chocolate sauce. There’s an option to suit all tastes making this dry mix an excellent option to replace your usual pancake recipe.

Like many of Trader Joe's seasonal items (including its other new strawberry product), we don’t know how long this limited-time flavor will be in stores so be sure to grab a box on your next trip before they’re gone.
