Peanut Butter Pancakes
Yields: 10 pancakes
These perfectly fluffy pancakes have a delicious hint of peanut butter flavor, making them a perfect match for tasty additions like chocolate, bananas, or both!
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- chocolate sauce, for drizzling (optional)
- peanut butter cups, chopped for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add peanut butter. Microwave for 15-second intervals, mixing in between, until peanut butter reaches a sauce-like consistency. Set bowl aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Set bowl aside.
- In a large measuring cup or medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vegetable oil.
- Slowly pour melted peanut butter in with egg mixture, whisking while pouring.
- Add the dry ingredients to bowl, mixing until combined but still lumpy.
- Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. Preheat griddle to 275 degrees F. Note: If using a pan or a griddle that does not have a nonstick coating, spray the cooking urface with cooking spray before adding pancake batter.
- Scoop out 1/4 cup pancake batter and pour onto the heated griddle, spreading out gently into a round shape. Cook until the top of the pancake begins to bubble and the bottom turns golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip pancake and cook opposite side for 1 minute. Repeat this step until all batter is used. Tip: depending on the size of your griddle, you should be able to cook 6-8 pancakes at a time.
- Serve pancakes immediately with chocolate syrup, more melted peanut butter, and chopped peanut butter cups (garnishes optional).
