Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk (dairy or dairy-free alternative)

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup chocolate chips (semisweet or dark)

Butter or oil for greasing the skillet

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until the mixture is light and evenly combined.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, creamy peanut butter, large egg, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk or fork to mix until the peanut butter is thoroughly integrated and the mixture is smooth without lumps.

      Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the ingredients together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing; it’s okay if there are a few small lumps. If you like, gently fold in the chocolate chips at this stage for a delightful chocolatey surprise.

        Preheat the Skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of butter or oil to ensure the pancakes don’t stick.

          Cook the Pancakes: Once the skillet is hot, pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Allow the pancakes to cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until they are beautifully golden brown.

            Keep Warm and Repeat: Remove the cooked pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm on a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed to prevent sticking.

              Serve Your Masterpiece: Serve the warm pancakes drizzled with syrup, generously topped with extra chocolate chips, and consider adding a dollop of creamy peanut butter on top for an indulgent finish.
