Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted butter)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions:
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, peanut butter, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. The peanut butter may create a few small lumps, but that’s okay.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s fine if there are a few lumps.
- Heat the Griddle: Preheat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Keep Warm: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
- Serve: Serve the Peanut Butter Pancakes warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, sliced bananas, chocolate chips, or an extra drizzle of peanut butter.
Enjoy these Peanut Butter Pancakes with a hot cup of coffee or a glass of milk for a delightful and filling breakfast!
