A Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Pancake Stack is a decadent and indulgent breakfast treat that combines the flavors of peanut butter and chocolate in fluffy pancakes. Here’s a recipe to make this delightful pancake stack:
Ingredients:
For the Pancakes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (semisweet or milk chocolate)
For the Toppings (Optional):
- Extra peanut butter for drizzling
- Additional chocolate chips
- Sliced bananas or strawberries
- Maple syrup
Instructions:
- Preheat the Griddle or Pan:
- Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. You can test if it’s hot enough by sprinkling a few drops of water on the surface. If they sizzle and evaporate, it’s ready.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, creamy peanut butter, egg, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Add Chocolate Chips:
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips into the pancake batter.
- Cook the Pancakes:
- Grease the preheated griddle or skillet with a bit of butter or cooking spray. Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour portions of the pancake batter onto the griddle to form pancakes of your desired size.
- Flip and Cook:
- Cook the pancakes until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges start to look set, usually about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Stack the Pancakes:
- Remove the cooked pancakes from the griddle and stack them on a serving plate.
- Add Toppings (Optional):
- If desired, drizzle extra peanut butter over the pancake stack and sprinkle with additional chocolate chips. You can also add sliced bananas or strawberries for a fruity touch.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve your Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Pancake Stack with maple syrup or your favorite pancake toppings.
These pancakes are perfect for a special weekend breakfast or brunch. The combination of peanut butter and chocolate chips adds a delightful twist to classic pancakes. Enjoy!
