Peanut Butter Pancakes

These pancakes were delicious - they weren't too sweet or overpowering with peanut butter flavor. Definitely a kids friendly recipe and even though the recipe didn't call for sliced bananas they tasted great on top of these pancakes.

Recipe:

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
¾ cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups milk
⅓ cup peanuts, chopped (optional)

1) In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a medium bowl whisk together eggs and peanut butter until combined. Gradually stir in milk (mixture will be stiff at first but will thin when all the milk is added). Add peanut butter mixture to flour mixture. Stir just until combined but still slightly lumpy. Gently stir in peanuts.

2) Heat a lightly greased griddle or heavy skillet over medium heat. For each pancake pour about ¼ cup batter onto griddle. Cook until golden; turn when tops are bubbly and edges are slightly dry (1 to 2 minutes per side).

Notes: Batter will be thin but will thicken slightly after standing a few minutes. Tip: Over-mixing makes pancakes tough; stop stirring while a few lumps remain - they will disappear once the pancakes are on the heat.

Prep Time: 20 minutes | Cook Time: 2 minutes per batch | Yields: 16 pancakes
