Ingredients
  

  • All-purpose flour: 1 cup 240g
  • Cocoa powder: 2 tablespoons 30g
  • Baking powder: 2 teaspoons 10g
  • Salt: 1/4 teaspoon 1.5g
  • Eggs: 2 large
  • Milk: 1 cup 240ml
  • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon 5ml
  • Unsweetened peanut butter: 3 tablespoons 45g
  • Honey or maple syrup: 2 tablespoons 30ml
  • Unsalted butter for cooking: 1 tablespoon (15g)

Method
 

  1. Prep Ahead: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients well.
  2. In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, vanilla extract, peanut butter, and your choice of sweetener (honey or maple syrup). Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir until just combined. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are okay and ensure fluffy Chocolate Peanut Butter Pancakes.
  4. Heat It Up: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a touch of butter.
  5. Once the butter is melted and the pan is hot, scoop 1/4 cup (60ml) of the batter for each pancake onto the skillet.
  6. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the Chocolate Peanut Butter Pancakes, then flip them over. They should be a beautiful golden brown. Cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
  7. Serve: Once you’ve made all your Chocolate Peanut Butter Pancakes, plate them up!

Notes

To keep your Chocolate Peanut Butter Pancakes warm as you cook the rest, set your oven to the lowest temperature and place them inside on a baking sheet.
For an extra touch, you can sprinkle some crushed peanuts on top for added crunch.
If the batter feels too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
