Father's Day Peanut Butter Pancakes

Pancakes and Waffles are a weekend favorite for us. 

When I told Abby it was Father's Day, I loved her idea (and I am sure Lucy would agree). 

She said, "Dad needs a special breakfast!" 

So after some searching, this is what we all thought would be his favorite...Peanut Butter Pancakes!

Peanut Butter Pancakes

recipe from Crepes of Wrath

Ingredients 

1 cup all purpose flour 

1 tbsp baking powder 

1/2 tsp salt 

2 tbsp sugar 

1 egg 

1 cup, plus 3 tbsp milk (plus more if batter is too thick) 

1/2 cup peanut butter, melted 

2 tbsp vegetable oil 

1 tbsp butter 

Directions 

1. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk all the wet ingredients. Combine the two. If batter seems too thick add some extra milk, one tablespoon at a time, until batter is thinner.

2. Heat the griddle over medium heat and spread 1 tablespoon of butter on the griddle using a paper towel. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto to griddle and allow to cook 3-4 minutes per side. They don't bubble like regular pancakes so watch closely! Makes 10-12 pancakes.

3. Serve with warm maple syrup and chocolate chips on top!

*I usually put chocolate chips in our pancakes, but this time I was afraid it would take away from the peanut butter flavor. Next time, I will give it a try and let you know how it goes!
