This fun Northern Michigan recipe gives everyone an excuse to eat peanut butter and jelly for breakfast! Thanks to As You Dish’s Northern Michigan chef Michelle Rodriguez for the recipe.


Fluffy Peanut Butter & Jelly Pancakes

Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • *3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar (or substitute 1 1/2 tablespoons honey)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • cooking spray, coconut oil, or additional butter (to use on griddle)

*(Note: If you don’t have buttermilk in your house, that’s okay. Just use regular milk and add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to it. Then let it sit for 5 minutes. That will “sour” the milk and work just fine!)

Directions:

  1. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Whisk the large egg and melted butter into buttermilk. Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and whisk until lumps are gone. Don’t overmix.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, and coat with butter, coconut oil or cooking spray. Pour batter onto the skillet, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip with a spatula, and cook until browned on the other side.
  4. Gently (on low heat, and keep an eye on it) warm some of your favorite peanut butter, and jelly separately in the microwave and pour however much you like over the pancakes!
  5. Serve to your kids and be prepared for some high fives & hugs!
