Preheat a non-stick griddle or pan over medium-high heat (about 375 to 400 degrees F if you're using an electric griddle).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, flaxseed, baking powder, salt, and natural food coloring powder. Whisk until combined and set aside.
Wash, de-stem, and quarter your fresh strawberries and measure out 1 cup of quartered strawberries. Place the strawberries in a small blender or NutriBullet with the 1/4 cup water and blend until smooth and pureed.
Add the strawberry puree, rice milk, and olive oil to the flour mixture and stir to combine. The batter is thicker to make shapes like hearts, but if you like thinner pancakes, you can add more rice milk to the batter.
Cook the pancakes on the pre-heated griddle or pan until golden on each side.
Top with the chocolate syrup and sliced strawberries.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container or plastic bag for up to 3 days at room temperature.
