Peanut Butter Pancakes

A couple of weeks ago, I felt that it was time to shake things up a bit for breakfast.  I wanted to make some pancakes, but not just any pancakes.  I needed to make something new!  I looked in the pantry and my eyes stopped at the Peanut Butter.  YES, Peanut Butter Pancakes!

So, I took out the box of Aunt Jemima Original Dry mix (the Wheat would work as well) and followed the instructions on the box.  Then added in:

• 1/3 cup Natural Jif Peanut Butter (or your favorite peanut butter)
• 2 Tbs. Brown Sugar
  ** you may need to add more liquid (I had to splash some milk in)

Here are some variations and add-ins that we came up with:

• Peanut Butter chips - Double Peanut Butter explosion
• Chocolate chips - Reese's
• Banana w/ bacon - Elvis. 
• Top with your favorite Jelly/Jam - PB&J

Give them a shot! Be Creative!  My Kids LOVED them, and they loved creating their own version with the Add-Ins!  Having fun in the kitchen as a family is a great way to spend a Saturday morning!

If you come up with a new variation, let me know!
