What You'll Need
Before we dive into the recipe, let's make sure you have all the necessary ingredients. Here's what you'll need:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk (or substitute with milk and lemon juice)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
Let's Get Flippin'
Now that you have all your ingredients ready, it's time to start cooking. Follow these simple steps to create pancake perfection:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough pancakes.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, ladle about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm.
Spread the Love
Now that your pancakes are ready, it's time to take them to the next level with a generous dollop of chocolate peanut butter. Here's how you can make your own:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the peanut butter for 20-30 seconds, or until it becomes slightly runny.
- Add the chocolate chips to the warm peanut butter and stir until melted and well combined.
- Drizzle the chocolate peanut butter over your stack of pancakes, or use it as a dipping sauce on the side.
And there you have it – the perfect pancake with chocolate peanut butter. The combination of fluffy pancakes, gooey chocolate chips, and creamy peanut butter is simply irresistible. So go ahead, indulge your taste buds and start your day off on a deliciously sweet note. Happy pancake flipping!
