Ingredients

  • 1 14 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 14 teaspoon salt (optional)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 23 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 34 cups nonfat milk
  • nonstick cooking spray

Method

  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt, if using, in a large bowl until baking powder is evenly distributed; set aside.
  • Whisk the egg, peanut butter, and melted butter in a medium bowl until smooth.
  • Whisk in the milk.
  • Spray large nonstick skillet or griddle lightly with nonstick spray and heat it over medium-low heat.
  • As it heats, stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon, just until the flour is moistened.
  • The batter should still be a little lumpy.
  • Spoon a scant 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet to make one pancake.
  • Add more batter to make more pancakes, as many as will fit.
  • Cook just until the cakes have permanent bubble holes dotted across their surfaces.
  • Flip with a nonstick-safe spatula; continue cooking until browned on the bottom, about 1 minute.
  • Transfer to a platter and continue making more pancakes.
  • To Customize: Whisk in 1 tsp ground cinnamon, apple pie spice mixture, or pumpkin pie spice mixture with the baking powder; or stir in 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips into the flour mixture before adding to the wet ingredients; or whisk in 2 tsp vanilla extract ot 1 tsp maple extract with the milk.
