PB+J Pancakes

My mom came to visit us yesterday for the day.

Her and Riley had a fun day together!

I also had a fun day...alone.  I was able to get my hair trimmed and do some shopping all by myself.  It was GREAT and much needed.  I loved having a day off.  ;)

Thanks again, Mom!

 

Here is a little "thank you" I gave her...

 

I also sent her home with some cookies...

(a new recipe: Low Fat Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies)

I made my first ever homemade bread!

Not bad, for my first time.

We're still enjoying the smell of sweet roses in our house too!

This morning (after Skype-ing with Aaron) I made PB + J pancakes for breakfast...

Amazing!

A very fluffy, light pancake!

We ate ours with Blueberry Syrup.

Yummies.

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons sugar

1 egg

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk (plus extra if needed to thin)

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, melted (15-30 seconds in microwave)

2 tablespoons oil

3-4 tablespoons butter, divided (for cooking)

Directions:

• Preheat griddle.
• In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
• Slowly add egg, milk, peanut butter and oil until combined.
• Let stand 5 minutes.
• Coat heated griddle with 1 tablespoon butter and pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake.
• Flip when a quick peek on the underside reveals a golden color.
• Repeat with remaining batter.
• Serve with fruit flavored syrup (like blackberry or blueberry) or spread with jelly or jam!
A cold glass of milk goes great with this too.  ;)

Makes about 11 pancakes.
