This next part is only a photo tutorial of the recipe steps. If you’re looking for the full recipe measurements and instructions, scroll down to Recipe Details.
Step 1 – Before getting started, melt the peanut butter until it has the consistency of a velvety sauce.
Step 2 – In a large bowl, mix the dry ingredients together: flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Step 3 – Using a measuring cup (for easy pouring) or a medium bowl, use a whisk to mix up the milk, egg, and vegetable oil.
Step 4 – While continuing to whisk, gently pour the melted peanut butter in with the egg mixture.
Step 5 – Add in the dry ingredients, mixing until the batter is combined but still lumpy.
Step 6 – Allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes. This will give you time to heat your griddle to 275°F.
Step 7 – Scoop up 1/4 cup of batter and pour it onto the prepared griddle, spreading out gently into a round shape. Cook until the top of the pancake begins to bubble and the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional minute. Repeat this step until all the batter is used.
Step 8 – Serve with garnishes and drizzles of your choice and enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter, plus more for drizzling (optional)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- chocolate sauce, for drizzling (optional)
- peanut butter cups, chopped for garnish (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add peanut butter. Microwave for 15-second intervals, mixing in between, until peanut butter reaches a sauce-like consistency. Set bowl aside.

- Slowly pour melted peanut butter in with egg mixture, whisking while pouring.
- Add the dry ingredients to bowl, mixing until combined but still lumpy.
- Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. Preheat griddle to 275°F. Note: If using a pan or a griddle that does not have a nonstick coating, spray the cooking urface with cooking spray before adding pancake batter.
- Scoop out 1/4 cup pancake batter and pour onto the heated griddle, spreading out gently into a round shape. Cook until the top of the pancake begins to bubble and the bottom turns golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip pancake and cook opposite side for 1 minute. Repeat this step until all batter is used. Tip: depending on the size of your griddle, you should be able to cook 6-8 pancakes at a time.
