The flavorful combination of peanut butter and chocolate in a pancake; for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
I LOVE breakfast. With a young baby my breakfast often ends up being a bowl of cereal or a couple pieces of toast (or sometimes I go with out!) but when I have time to make something a little more special for breakfast I do, and I love it! One of my favorite things to make for breakfast is pancakes, because they don’t take as long as some other delicious breakfast options, but they still taste pretty delicious! So this time I decided to add in some peanut butter and a few chocolate chips in to make my pancakes even more tasty.
I love eating breakfast for dinner too. I mean, some hot pancakes drizzled with syrup. Or maybe an omelet stuffed full of veggies and cheese. I’d be happy eating those any time of the day really. 
And let me tell you, these pancakes really are so good, you’ll be happy eating them anytime of the day. Or all the time, even.
These peanut butter chocolate chip pancakes are simple to make, I altered our perfect pancake recipe to replace the butter for peanut butter and I added a dash of vanilla and left out the vinegar. And of course I threw a few chocolate chips in there for good measure! (Of course I wouldn’t actually eat my pancakes topped with another fourth cup of chocolate chips like in said pictures, or with as much syrup, or stacked 4 high, but it made for prettier pictures – just fyi).

These are my favorite pancakes ever! Seriously! I love peanut butter and of course, peanut butter and chocolate together and I love pancakes but they are also the perfect texture and fluffiness. I just love them (if you couldn’t tell, hahaha)! Don’t get me started on the syrup. Thanks for the recipe.
