Notes on Ingredients

• Flour–Use either all-purpose, whole white wheat or gluten-free 1:1 flour blend
• Milk-– Regular or non-dairy milk both work.
• Egg–or flax egg substitute if you need these pancakes to be egg-free.
• Peanut Butter–creamy, natural peanut butter is best (the kind that needs refrigerated). The peanut butter also replaces the need to add butter or oil to the pancake batter.
• Maple Syrup–If you would rather not use maple syrup to sweeten the pancake batter, add 1 tablespoon sugar to the flour mixture, you may just need a tablespoon or two more of milk

How to Make Peanut Butter Pancakes

Step One: Prepare Pancake Batter

• In a small bowl, mix together milk and vinegar. Let this mixture sit while you prepare dry ingredients.
• In a separate mixing bowl, sift or whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, mix together maple syrup, milk mixture, egg, and peanut butter until smooth and well combined.
• Mix together the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until well combined–a few tiny lumps are okay, but the majority of the lumps should be gone.

Step Two: Cook Pancakes

• Preheat a griddle or non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Grease with butter or non-stick spray.
• Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, pour prepared pancake batter unto heated, greased pan.
• Cook until small bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
• Remove pancakes from the pan and serve warm.

How to Make Jelly Syrup

• Combine lemon juice, strawberries and maple syrup in a saucepan over medium-high heat.
• Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer for about 10 minutes, or until strawberries have broken down and the sauce has thickened.
