Banana & Peanut Butter Pancakes

One of the best and worst things about being a foodie is all of the food you have in the house.  It's great for random Saturday mornings when I want to make a tasty breakfast on a whim, because I have a variety of different ingredients to make something!  This particular Saturday morning I decided to make banana and peanut butter pancakes.  Yummm!
I used the boxed pancake Aunt Jemima batter, mainly because I was hungry and didn't want to start from scratch, so I cheated.  Shh.. don't tell :)
Mash together two very ripe bananas, and 1/4 cup of peanut butter.  You can add more peanut butter if you'd like a more peanut butter taste.
Mix the peanut butter banana mix into the batter and stir well.
Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Pour batter into the pan and cook until there's bubbles.  Flip and cook for another couple minutes until cooked through.
I served with a little heap of crunchy peanut butter on top that I spread like butter.  These were so tasty!  C and I really enjoyed them, and with a little side of watermelon it was a great start to the weekend.

Happy Monday, see you back here tomorrow!

  1. Those looks faaaaabulous. I once tried this peanut butter cupcake recipe from Hungry Girl, and I think the frosting would be delightful on these: 1 part peanut butter to 2 parts whipped cream.

    Another worst about being a foodie: replenishing the pantry. We've had staples on our grocery list for the past three weeks!

  2. Just cooked these; amazingly my picky toddler ate 3/4 of his portion, so I'm going to call it a big success. Thanks for sharing! Very tasty :)
