My kids are breakfast eaters. They are pretty picky at the best of times, so they rarely eat a good dinner, but come breakfast they are starving and luckily enough it’s one meal that they actually love. So we often have a breakfasty type lunch and one favourite is pancakes.
Last week, I was just about to make a big batch of pancakes for lunch when I noticed the peanut butter jar still on the counter from breakfast and lightning struck! Why not marry the two!
I almost just scooped some PB into our boxed mix but decided to go all Martha Stewart and make them from scratch. I looked at a few recipes on the web, including this one from recipe boy, so inspired by his, I created my own.
Ingredients needed:
- all purpose flour
- Whole Wheat flour
- white sugar
- brown sugar
- baking powder
- salt
- milk
- peanut butter
- egg
- chocolate chips
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Warm and fluffy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 Whole Wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon flax
- 1 tablespoon granulated white sugar
- 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat a skillet to medium and spray with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together flours, flax, sugars, baking powder and salt.
Add milk, egg and peanut butter to the dry ingredients and stir gently until all is combined.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake on griddle to form 5-inch pancakes. The batter spreads as it cooks, be careful that they don't run into each other.
Sprinkle a few chocolate chips onto each wet pancake, flip when bubbles start to appear and underside is a nice golden brown.
Repeat until all batter is used.
Serve with maple syrup.
Notes
If you don't have whole wheat flour just use 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour

I try to sneak in flax wherever I can!
Yum! My kids would love those pancakes…espeically my 12 year old son! They would make a great meal for lunch or dinner too! Now I am hungry Jen! Thanks for sharing! Angie xo
haha your blog always makes me hungry too!
peanut butter… chocolate…. and maple syrup???? does it get any better?!?
I dare say not! lol
Absolutely mouth-watering! I would of never thought to put all those ingredients together.
I would never have thought to put peanut butter in them. I might just have to try that.
*coff* Pancakes are one of those things that you just should mix yourself. :):) Try it three times and you won’t even need a recipe anymore.
I am sure these would be a big hit in our house, anything with PB is! I don’t know why I haven’t thought of adding it to pancakes before, thanks so much for the recipe!
I haven’t had anything to eat yet today and these have made me very hungry! Thanks for the recipe, I’m sure everyone will love them!
Thanks for the recipe, they look delicious!
I have to make these for my niece and nephew next time they come for a sleepover thanks for the great idea!
I would really love one or two of these pancakes right now. YUM! LOVE chocolate chips added to anything!
Peanut butter is my favorite! If it has flax in it then it’s healthy right? 🙂
lol absolutely! lol
Best combo of flavours!! I’ve never thought of having that for breakfast…thanks for the idea!
Well now I have never tried adding anything to experiment in my pancakes but I think it might be time to try!! My hubby has always taken peanut butter and jam sandwiches with him every day to work….along with a reg. meat sandwich too!! I might add. So maybe peanut butter in our pancakes just might be ok… I am definitely going to try it…..but think I will add to already boxed pancake mix first. hope he likes it…..time will tell. 🙂 gonna surprise him!!
sounds like you have a peanut butter lover on your hands! Hope he likes it!
I would love to try these. I’ve never had peanut butter pancakes before.
