This is one of those, “Hey Mom, it’s Sunday AM and it would be really, really nice of you to make us pancakes for breakfast!” kind of recipes. The best thing about pancakes is that they’re pretty versatile. I mess around with my best base recipes all the time to create new twists. This one is for peanut butter lovers. If you’re into the whole peanut butter + chocolate thing (like my boys), then you can certainly sprinkle in some chocolate chips too. These fluffy peanut butter pancakes are a perfect weekend breakfast treat!
See that major fluffy factor? These pancakes seriously puff up and remain puffy even after cooling a bit. That makes them quite filling. You don’t need a stack this big, for sure!
Extra chocolate chips anyone? Always a good thing. Unless you don’t like chocolate, of course. Then it’s not such a good thing. I should mention that adding chocolate chips is completely optional. It’s okay to leave them out if you just want classic peanut butter pancakes.
Drizzles of warm maple syrup work perfectly with peanut butter pancakes. My boys were very appreciative of this new pancake creation. Their review: “We loved these fluffy pancakes with a hint of peanut butter flavor. They were a nice variation of the regular old plain pancake. When will you be making them again?” I’d say they were a hit! Will you be trying them this weekend for your family?
