Peanut Butter Banana Pancakes Recipe
These flavorful, fluffy peanut butter banana pancakes are topped with melted peanut butter, sliced bananas and mini chocolate chips.
Ingredients
For the pancakes:
- 1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 1/3 c. buttermilk
- 1 c. overly ripe mashed bananas
- 1/4 c. brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp. butter melted
For the topping:
- 1/2 c. creamy peanut butter warmed
- 2 tbsp. mini chocolate chips optional
- slices of banana optional
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a small mixing bowl, add the buttermilk, mashed banana, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Lightly beat until combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, being sure to not overmix. Lumps make for fluffy pancakes! You may need to add a tablespoon or two of additional buttermilk to get the right consistency.
- Allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes, meanwhile, place a large pan over medium heat and add ½ tbsp. of butter. Scoop the batter out using ⅓ measuring cup and pour into the center of the heated pan. Allow the pancakes to cook approximately 2 minutes or until you see small bubbles on the surface of the pancake. Flip, and cook for 1-2 additional minutes. The pancakes should be lightly golden brown in color.
- Drizzle melted peanut butter between layers of pancakes. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and top with banana slices, if desired.
Notes
- Warm your peanut butter by adding it to a microwave-safe mixing bowl and heating on half powder for 30 seconds to 1 minute. - For extra fluffy pancakes, whip the egg white until stiff peaks form and fold in at the very end.
