Front Burner

I didn't get a picture of the acutal pancakes but I figured this was evidence enough that these were a kid crowd pleaser. I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter for breakfast myself (I know, it sounds silly... who doesn't like a piece of toast with a little pb?) but these were actually pretty good. I made them mostly for the kids as a treat but couldn't help stealing a bite or two. Nice and filling with the little added protein and perfect spread with a small amount of jam.

PB&J Pancakes

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. sugar
1 egg
1 1/4 cup milk (plus extra if needed for thinning)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, melted (20-30 seconds in microwave)
2 Tbsp. oil

Preheat griddle. In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. In a small bowl mix together milk, egg and oil. Slowly add to flour mixture and stir until combined. Stir in peanut butter. Let stand 5 minutes. Spray griddle with cooking spray or brush with melted butter. Pour batter by 1/3 cupfuls onto griddle. Flip when a quick peek to the underside reveals a golden color. Spread with jam or drizzle with syrup.
