Description
Have you ever wondered if it is possible to eat a breakfast that tastes like a dessert but helps you stay strong and full all morning long? These are not your average boxed-mix pancakes. These are gourmet Peanut Butter Pancakes that will make you feel like a professional chef in your own kitchen.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup milk (dairy or almond)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for the pan
Instructions
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a separate smaller bowl, whisk the egg, milk, honey, and vanilla extract.
- Soften the Peanut Butter: If the peanut butter is thick, microwave it for 15 seconds until runny, then whisk it into the wet ingredients.
- Combine: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until just combined. A few small lumps are perfectly fine.
- Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add a tiny bit of butter.
- Cook: Scoop 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. When bubbles form on top and edges look dry, flip and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Assemble: Stack the pancakes with a thin layer of peanut butter between each. Top with melted peanut butter, fresh raspberries, and crushed peanuts.
Notes
Don’t over-mix the batter to keep the pancakes fluffy. For storage, let pancakes cool completely before placing in a sealed container for up to three days. If the pancakes are burning on the outside but raw inside, turn your heat down to low.
