Chocolate Peanut Butter-Stuffed Pancakes
Ingredients
Instructions
Spoon 1-inch sized circles of dark chocolate peanut butter onto parchment paper.
Freeze peanut butter circles for about 1 hour.
#SpoonTip: These peanut butter circles could last in the freezer for up to two weeks, so you can freeze them ahead of time for quicker prep.
Place oats in a blender and pulse approximately 30 seconds or until you get a flour-like consistency.
Add banana, almond milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to blender and pulse approximately 30 seconds or until you get a batter-like consistency.
Heat up a skillet on the stove on medium heat and coat with non-stick spray.
Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet to form a pancake.
Take the peanut butter circles out from the freezer, and peel one circle from the parchment paper to place on top of one pancake.
#SpoonTip: While your pancakes are cooking, put the peanut butter circles back in the freezer to prevent melting.
Top each pancake with additional batter to cover the peanut butter.
After approximately three minutes, flip each pancake over and cook for another two minutes.
Repeat steps 6-9 until all batter is used.
Stack pancakes, top with desired toppings, and enjoy every bite of deliciousness.
#SpoonTip: Try topping with more peanut butter and bananas.
