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.

Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I FORGOT TO PICK UP SOME JELLY FROM THE SUPERMARKET...NOR DID I HAVE BLACKBERRIES OR ANY TYPE OF BERRY...BUT I MUST ADMIT... THAT THE PANCAKES WERE A VERY CREATIVE WAY OF GETTING OUT OF THE HABIT OF REGULAR OLD PANCAKES...AND JUST LIKE PEANUT BUTTER...THE PANCAKES AT TIMES STUCK TO THE ROOF OF MY MOUTH...MAYBE BECAUSE I DIDNT MAKE THE BATTER THIN ENOUGH...GREAT TASTE THOUGH...MY GRANDMA LOVED THEMRead more

Great Idea but not the best Pancakes I have ever had
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used Sandra Lee's Peanut Butter and Jelly pancake syrup and thought it complemented these pancakes well. I thought this was... a great idea for a pancake and they tasted nice - but these are not the best pancakes I have had - hence the four star rating. I preferred Giaga's almond pancakes and Bobby Flay's lemon ricotta pancakes over these.Read more

Wonderful!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

These were so good! We didn't have blackberries, so we used frozen strawberries. It was pretty fitting, though, because we... make our PB&J with strawberry jelly. The pancakes were very fluffy, and they had good flavor. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because I think the peanut butter flavor could have been a little stronger, and there were a couple of times I tasted the baking powder. I think that sifting the dry ingredients might have taken care of that.Read more

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
