Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk, plus extra if needed to thin
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, melted
2 tablespoons oil
4 tablespoons butter
Blackberry Syrup, recipe follows

Directions

Preheat a griddle. In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. Slowly mix in egg, milk, peanut butter and oil until combined. Add a little extra milk if batter feels too thick. Let mixture sit 5 minutes. Melt 1 tablespoon butter on griddle and move around to coat entire griddle. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake on griddle to form 5-inch pancakes. The batter spreads as it cooks. Fill griddle without crowding pancakes. Flip when air pockets start to pop on the top and a quick peak on the underside reveals a golden pancake. Repeat with remaining butter and batter. Serve pancakes with Blackberry Syrup.

Blackberry Syrup:

2 pints fresh blackberries
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 lemon, zested

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine all ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Lower heat to a simmer and cook until liquid is reduced to a syrupy consistency, about 10 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break up blackberries as they cook. Strain syrup to remove seeds and serve warm.

Great pancakes...Slightly different syrup.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These are so delicious, I add real maple syrup to my homemade jam and heat up in a sauce pan for the ultimate topping to the... peanut butter pancakes.Read more

I made these pancakes this AM for my kids who just loved them. I added a little more peanut butter than called for and just... warmed up some raspberry preserves and they were great. I will definitely make these again.Read more

DE-LI-CIOUS!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I had to improvise due to the fact I didn't have some of the ingredients listed. I only had a 1/2 a cup of Pet milk, so I... added 1/2 cup of water to make-up 1 cup of milk. I used Laura Scudder's peanut butter (nutty) and added 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. The consistency was perfect - not too thick, not too thin. I didn't have any blackberries, so I substituted blueberries, lemon juice and orange extract to make the syrup. In addition, I whipped up some whip cream for the topping. Awww..my family and I truly enjoyed it. The ingredient for the whip cream is: 1c - heavy whipping cream 3 tbs - powder sugar 1 tsp - vanilla extract and 1/4 tsp - cream of tartar (optional) Read more

Delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

First time making pancakes from scratch.... great batter recipe! Moist, fluffy, light. Left the peanut butter out of the... batter because some didn't want it. The others spread the peanut butter on the hot pancakes. Excellent! Had to reduce the blackberry syrup for a long time though... never thickened, but it had wonderful flavor, and the pancake soaked up the thin syrup. Delicious!Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these pancakes for Mothers Day since my mother had to work in the evening and she loves Peanut Butter. These were... great the peanut butter taste was not overwhelming, I was able to make the blackberry syrup the night before while I was cooking dinner. I will make these again.Read more
