Whole Wheat Pancakes with Peanut Butter Sauce

I have an obsession with trying different pancake recipes.  I don’t think I’ve used the same one twice, because there are so many out there.  I found this one on AllRecipes.com which you all know is one of my favorite sites.  {Admittedly I have dreams of moving to Seattle and being one of their food testers if such a position exists.}

I made the sauce from my own guessing.  It turned out well thank goodness.

Whole Wheat Pancakes {modified from AllRecipes.com}

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 tbs white vinegar
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 tbs white sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbs melted butter
  • cooking spray {I used olive oil}

Directions:

  1. Combine milk with vinegar in a medium bowl and set aside for 5 minutes to “sour”.
  2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Whisk egg and butter into “soured” milk. Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until lumps are gone.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and coat with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the skillet, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip with a spatula, and cook until browned on the other side.

Peanut Butter Sauce {my own recipe}

Ingredients:

  • 3 tbs honey
  • 1/4 cup chunky peanut butter

Directions:

  1. In a small pot cook the honey on medium.  Once the consistency is thinned add the peanut butter. 
  2. Stir frequently for 2 minutes.
  3. It will cool very fast.  Let it cook for about 15 seconds then spread on pancakes!

Grade: B+

Comments: This is the first time I had ever made whole wheat pancakes {I literally just bought whole wheat flour for the first time about 2 weeks ago}, and they were pretty good.  The peanut butter sauce was divine, and it made the whole thing seem almost like a peanut butter sandwich.  Adding the honey was a good idea, because it made it a little sweeter almost like a syrup.  It was a great weekend breakfast that got our day off to a good start!
