Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Flour
  • 2 Tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • ½ tsp Baking soda
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 1 ¼ cup Buttermilk
  • 1 Egg, beaten
  • cup Creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup Mini chocolate peanut butter cups, chopped
  • Chocolate syrup for serving
  • Whipped cream for serving

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Frying Pan
  • Whisk
  • Chef's Knife
  • Wooden Spoon

Method
 

  1. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and creamy peanut butter.
  4. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until combined, but still slightly lumpy.
  5. Spray your cooking surface with non-stick cooking spray and place ¼ cup of the pancake batter in the pan. The batter is very thick and will need spread a bit with the back of a spoon, spatula, or your ¼ cup measuring cup. Sprinkle immediately with a few pieces of chopped mini chocolate peanut butter cups.
  6. Use a spoon to spread a bit of the batter over the candy pieces. Cook for 3 minutes per side or until cooked through. Repeat with remaining pancakes.
  7. Top with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and more candy pieces.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a toaster or microwave before serving.
  • Freezing: Yes, you can freeze these pancakes! Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze first, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.
  • Variations: Feel free to swap out the peanut butter for almond butter or add in some mashed bananas for extra flavor.
  • Serving suggestion: Try serving these pancakes with sliced bananas or strawberries for a fresh twist.
  • Custom toppings: Get creative with toppings! Chopped nuts or a drizzle of caramel sauce could also be delicious!
