What We Love About This Recipe
- If peanut butter’s your thing, you will LOVE these peanut butter pancakes! They’re every bit as delicious as traditional pancakes, with the perfect hint of nuttiness to take them to the next level. Top them with maple syrup, sliced bananas or strawberries, chocolate chips, honey, or just a pat of butter.
- They’re so easy to make you can literally throw them together in a matter of minutes. Breakfast for dinner? Say no more.
Cheryl’s Tips
- If you don’t have a blender, you can mix everything together by hand or you can use a mixer. Just be sure to break up any clumps of flour and fully incorporate all the peanut butter so you don’t end up with lumpy pancakes.
- Don’t let your pan overheat or you’ll end up with burnt pancakes. If your pan tends to get too hot, move it off the heat periodically, or wipe it down between pancakes with a cool, damp paper towel.

These are delicious! Moist and tender, and the peanut butter flavor is subtle, not overpowering.
