Okay. So while doing my daily round of drooling over food websites, I hit Joy the Baker’s post on peanut butter and chocolate. Ever since then (this was about 24 hours ago) I have been thinking, day dreaming, and craving peanut butter and chocolate. This morning, I had enough- I wanted something with peanut butter and chocolate and I wanted it now.
So I ate a chocolate pancake with peanut butter swirl.
Then I ate a peanut butter waffle with a chocolate swirl.
While both of these pancakes were delicious, something was still missing. So, I smothered both kinds of pancakes in a banana sauce.
For a girl who has been eating eggs for breakfast every morning, this felt like I hit the jackpot. Take that peanut butter and chocolate craving!
- Chocolate Batter:
- ¼ cup unbleached all purpose flour
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup milk
- 1 none egg
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Peanut Butter Batter:
- ½ cup unbleached all purposed flour
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup milk
- 1 none egg
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 2 tablespoon natural smooth peanut butter
- Banana Topping:
- 2 ripe bananas
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- In a medium bowl, combine all the dry ingredients for chocolate batter. Stir in milk, egg, and melted butter until batter comes together. If batter is still a little thick (should be easily pourable) add in a little more milk. Set aside and repeat with peanut butter batter in a separate bowl.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Scoop about a fourth of the chocolate batter and smooth out to a circle. Take the peanut butter batter and drizzle two lines across the chocolate pancake. With a knife, swirl the peanut butter into the chocolate part of the pancake. Continue, reversing every other pancake (so you will also have peanut butter pancakes with a chocolate swirl.) Cook on one side until little bubbles form on the surface. Flip the pancake and continue to cook until pancake is done.
- If you are making a lot of pancakes, turn your oven on to 200˚ to keep pancakes warm until you are ready to serve.
- To make banana topping, combine the three ingredients in a food processor and pulse until banana is slightly chunky.
