Looking for a fun way to jazz up plain old pancakes? These Chocolate Peanut Butter pancakes are an easy pancake recipe that will have your mouth watering!
My guys love pancakes. It’s a breakfast staple in our house. And, sometimes, they even make an appearance on our weekly dinner meal plan.
I always use my great grandmother’s easy pancake recipe. The pancakes are tender and fluffy and turn a gorgeous golden brown. And, they come out perfect every single time.
Pancakes are like a blank slate just waiting to be dolled up in some way. I love how versatile they are. I’ve made them with whole wheat flour – like in these Apple Cinnamon Pancakes and these Blueberry Pie Pancakes. I’ve even made them where they’re more like a dessert than a breakfast, like these Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes.
Recently, I was looking for a new way to make pancakes for my guys. Two of their favorite flavors are chocolate and peanut butter so thought why not put it on top of pancakes?
These were a huge hit! I don’t think a word was uttered all through breakfast. They ate and ate and ate. I love it when that happens!
These Chocolate Peanut Butter Pancakes are definitely a keeper! What are your favorite pancake toppings?
