This simple 3-ingredient Strawberry Compote is an easy way to elevate your morning breakfast! This compote comes together in less than 10 minutes and tastes great on top of pancakes, like my easy buttermilk pancakes.

Making Strawberry Compote

As I mentioned, you only need three ingredients for this recipe:

  • Strawberries
  • Brown Sugar
  • Lemon Juice

Alternatively, you can use frozen strawberries instead of fresh, and coconut sugar instead of brown sugar.

The compote comes together in less than 10 minutes and is stored in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to a week.
