These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pancakes are soft and fluffy pancakes loaded with peanut butter and studded with chocolate chips. An easy pancake recipe that is delicious for any meal!
In a large mixing bowl whisk together the dry ingredients: all purpose flour, baking powder, salt and granulated sugar. Make a well in the middle.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together wet ingredients: milk, egg, vanilla extract and peanut butter.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and whisk it a few times.
Add the melted butter and whisk until fully combined but being careful not to overmix. Lumpy batter is good batter.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while you preheat an electric griddle to 350°F. If you don't have a griddle you can use a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat with a tablespoon of butter or oil.
Using a ladle or ¼ cupful, drop batter onto preheated griddle and spread out to about 3 inches in diameter.
Once the pancakes start to bubble and pop on the first side, about 1-2 minutes, flip the cakes. Cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown and the top of the pancake springs back when touched.
Serve the warm pancakes with a pat of butter, some warm syrup or your favorite pancake topping and dig in! Don't forget the side of bacon!
