Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 teaspoons aluminum-free baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons oil (canola, vegetable, or coconut)
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup jelly (any variety)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, aluminum-free baking powder, and salt. Stir them together to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a larger bowl, whisk together the oil, egg, and milk until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Melt Peanut Butter: Place 1/3 cup of peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 20-25 seconds until it becomes slightly melted and easier to mix.
- Combine Peanut Butter with Wet Mixture: Drizzle the melted peanut butter into the egg mixture and whisk thoroughly until fully integrated.
- Add Dry Ingredients to Wet: Gently add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix just until barely combined; some lumps are okay. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes soft and fluffy.
- Cook Pancakes: Lightly grease a skillet with your preferred oil and heat it over medium heat. Pour the batter onto the skillet and cook each pancake until bubbles form and the surface looks puffy. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown.
- Prepare Jelly Syrup: Place about 1 cup of jelly in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave for 20 seconds, stir, then microwave for an additional 10-20 seconds as needed until the jelly has melted and turned into a syrup-like consistency.
- Serve: Drizzle the warm jelly syrup over the freshly cooked peanut butter pancakes and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use aluminum-free baking powder to avoid any metallic taste.
- Be gentle when mixing the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Any type of jelly or jam can be used based on your preference.
- Peanut butter can be substituted with a nut or seed butter if nut allergies are a concern.
- Serve pancakes warm for the best taste and texture.
- Adjust syrup amount to taste for sweetness preference.
