Peanut Butter Jelly Pankcakes!


Peanut Butter and Jelly a match made in heaven! I truly believe this combination is great at any time of day, so why not breakfast?

Peanut Butter and Jelly Pancakes

What you'll need:
1 1/3 cups of all purpose flour (I used Bob's Red Mill GF* All Purpose Flour)
If using a GF* flour add 1/4 tsp. of xanthan gum
3 tbs. sugar
Whisk together.

In second bowl:

1/2 cup Organic peanut butter (or any you have on hand)
-Heat peanut butter until soft
2 large eggs
1 1/3 cups of milk of your choosing (i used original almond milk)
whisk together

Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until smooth. If batter is too thick, add milk a little at a time. Let Batter set for 5 min. while grittle heats.

Pour pancakes on to pan, do not over cook. These cakes will not bubble as much as normal pancakes because of the peanut butter so watch for burning.

Serve with jelly of your choosing!
