Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pancakes

March 3, 2016 by Meghan 35 Comments

I owe today’s glorious recipe for Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pancakes to the Hubby.

While I’d really like to take all the credit for no other reason than I’m a glory hound without the actual dog part, I cannot.

These fluffy pancakes are packed with the rich and decadent combination of peanut butter and chocolate.

Granted I did do all the leg work, even if my feet weren’t involved, unless of course you count simply standing on them and these days, I do. Third trimester pregnancy is no joke.

Let’s break it down.

I’m the one who decided to come up with a recipe for Peanut Butter Pancakes. I’m also the one who thought chocolate chips would make a lovely addition. They totally do.    

I’m the one who whipped up batch after batch for testing purposes, although eating mounds of fluffy peanut butter pancakes certainly has its perks.

I’m the one who paired them with a banana because duh, bananas, and then plated them for their moment in the spotlight, which was literally a tiny wooden table, set up in the middle of my driveway. 

These fluffy pancakes are packed with the rich and decadent combination of peanut butter and chocolate.

I’m also the one who took picture after picture, with my iPhone of course, although I did force the Hubby to help me with the pour shot, while my poor, hungry father in law held up a black poster board in the background to hide the garage.

So you see, I worked hard for these pancakes. I shaped and molded them with my bare hands; a skillet and spatula might have also played a role. I had a vision and I brought it to life. You’d think I was Wonder Woman the way I’m carrying on. I kind of am.  

The simple truth though is I never would have made them if it weren’t for the Hubby.

While peanut butter and chocolate is a favorite combination of mine, pancakes are not.

These fluffy pancakes are packed with the rich and decadent combination of peanut butter and chocolate.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan and will happily break from my traditional eggs and granola for a fat stack, but it’s not a regular occurrence. Mainly because pancakes aren’t a priority for me. Gasp, who knew today’s post would contain such a shocking confession.

The Hubby on the other hand has a different opinion. He’d eat pancakes daily if he could. When we go out for brunch, he orders those simple silver dollars every single time, which typically isn’t an issue since I could care less what the Man puts on his plate.

“To each his own,” I say.

Until it impacts me that is.

These fluffy pancakes are packed with the rich and decadent combination of peanut butter and chocolate.

You see there’s this wonderful little restaurant we like to frequent for brunch. He orders his beloved peanut butter pancakes while I go for the blood orange mimosa with a side of spuds and eggs. At least I used to get a champagne cocktail before this whole pregnancy thing happened.

Since I can no longer have the object of my desire and might be a touch (read wildly) jealous over those who can, I’ve decided we should try other brunching establishments, one where I don’t have to stare longingly at other diner’s glasses, making them feel awkward and me like a lush.

The Hubby’s not having it though, solely because this is the only place he can get Peanut Butter Pancakes.

My solution was simple. I’d make him his own, if only to contain my boozy fantasies for a short while longer. Wife of the year right there.

Ingredients
  1. 2 cups AP Flour
  2. 4 tsps. Sugar
  3. 1 tsp. Salt
  4. 1 tsp. Baking Powder
  5. 1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
  6. 2 cups Original Almond Milk or milk of choice
  7. 1 tsp. Vanilla
  8. 2 large Eggs
  9. 1/4 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
  10. 1/4 cup Peanut Butter
  11. 1/3 Chocolate Chips
  12. Butter or Oil for brushing the griddle
Instructions
  1. Mix dry ingredients from the flour through to the baking soda in a medium bowl.
  2. In a small bowl or a large four cup measuring cup, whisk together milk, eggs, and vanilla. Stir in Greek yogurt and peanut butter.
  3. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just incorporated, being careful not to overmix. Fold in chocolate chips.
  4. On the stove, bring a griddle, a cast iron or non-stick skillet to medium heat. Using a spatula, spread a splash of olive oil, a pat of butter, or your greasing agent of choice, around the skillet. The griddle or skillet is ready when water splashed on the surface sizzles.
  5. Scoop batter onto skillet, a quarter cup per pancake, and cook approximately 3-5 minutes per side. The batter will bubble when its time to flip the pancake and the cooked side will be golden brown.
  6. Top finished pancakes with warm maple syrup, peanut butter and/or sliced bananas.

    Fluffy pancake perfection! We don’t have pancakes regularly just because I am the worlds worst pancake maker. I’d eat them let’s say every second day if it wouldn’t stir so much frustration in me to make them. Maybe I should send my best man into the game instead… when I show him these pictures I think he will be up anytime 🙂

    I still have the granola and the raspberry brie bake thingies on my list. I hope to get a chance to tackle them next week once work has slowed down. I just can’t get myself to cook at the moment.

    I tried to get me some help from my better half with a pouring shot once. We had a heated discussion, mushy food and no pouring shot later ;-P But he had certainly helped a lot with other pictures before.

    Speaking of photograpy, I have signed up for the course you recommended.

      I’ve got a list of your recipes to tackle as well but we’ll be out of town this weekend and the more pregnant I get, the less I want to cook, especially after along day at the office. The struggle is real. We’ll just have to make one another all our fantastic dishes when we’re together in the summer.

      Oh goodie. I hope you like the course. I found it to be immensely helpful, even if a bit above my technology skills when it comes to fancy cameras and such. I did all the homework though and felt like it really helped. You’ll be a pro in no time.

    love peanut butter chocolate chip pancakes! so yummy to make. I love going out for breakfast and brunch, we have a few spots that we LOVE so sometimes it gets hard to pick where to go but either way, I go sweet with a baked oatmeal.

    I feel like taking pancake pictures is at least a two person job! I have enough trouble cooking them and I’m usually distraught after the fact – they stress me out. These look awesome though and perfect in every way a pancake should be! Lol thinking of your father in law helping you out while starving 🙂

      I think my father in law found the entire thing fascinating. I’m not sure he realized the lengths I go to or the time I invest in the blog. Unless you’re another blogger or you see it in action, I don’t think anyone really does. He’s a great guy.

    Yum anything with peanut butter gets my attention! My favorite way to eat pancakes is to melt PB in the syrup and get a peanuty delicious sauce to top my pancakes. Actually, I would just drink that so can that sauce be my cocktail? 😉

    The greek yogurt is a smart move. Probably makes them really moist! I’d love to make these pancakes. You read the Girlfriend’s Guide to Pregnancy, right? I read it 15 years ago and I still love it and I’ll never forget when she compares having kids to making pancakes. The first one is always burnt and raw in the middle but by the second or third, we’ve started to get the hang of it. She;s hilarious!

    Excellent pour shot, and I’m smiling over the idea of the whole crew hungrily waiting for a chance to eat. My kids like to help out because whoever offers first gets the pretty plate 😉

    I think these fit perfectly on the Breakfast Decadence board!

    Total wife of the year right there! And with making them at home you can make them bigger, fluffier and more peanut buttery than at the restaurant! Winning!
    Brunch, or going out for brekkie, is such a new thing for me as its very rarely done outside of London in the UK. But I’m making up for that now! Even though I make eggs all the time it’s also what I order when I’m out – eggs, avocado, smoked salmon, feta… Mmmmm!!!
    And mimosas kinda make me sad… I’ll just take the champagne neat thank you very much 😉

    I’m not really a pancake person either, unless someone else is making them. Then I’ll happily indulge, but otherwise the whole waiting and flipping process stresses me out. Which is funny because pancakes were actually one of the first things I learned to make on my own… That being said, I don’t remember ever liking the flipping process 😆 And I don’t know that I’ve ever really gone out for breakfast or brunch… at least not when I’m at home. I’ll do it on vacation, but that’s not really enough for me to pick a favourite brunch spot 😛

      I’m not entirely sure what it is about the flipping process which scares you, but you are not alone. There are others who feel the same way. For me, the flip is fabulous and super simple so maybe we should all get together and have a class.

    Oh the good ole days of bloody Mary’s and mimosas, sniffle sniffle. I love brunch but tend to prefer dim sum version while the Man loves him some traditional American fare. Or Mexican breakfast. However we both like pancakes on a Sunday every now and then. Since peanut butter chips are my crack, this looks insanely good. Dear me this would be so nice.
