Finally, finally, I convinced Dad-oo to post! It took many tears, bribes and strawberried peanut butter M&M’s, but he finally caved. In case you missed it, you should give it a read.
After Dad-oo’s successful experiment, we had a LOT of leftovers. Although Eli LOVED it, he also had a chocolate chip cookie during the shopping excursion, and a graham cracker or two after Momma returned home from the gym. So, I racked my brain to figure out what to do with it all, before it sat in the fridge for so long that it ended up fuzzy. That’s never happened in our house before, but I’ve heard rumors. What I came up with was PBJ Pancakes. I’m getting more creative at this making up recipes thing. Although I’m going to have to stray away from baked goods before too long, our freezer is overflowing!
This recipe is another one I created with the help of Betty Crocker’s Cook Book. But I of course modified it to suit my needs. It was a huge success with Eli. He was exhausted and ready for a nap, but continued eating while his head dropped and his eyes closed. Too funny for words. I hope you enjoy!
PBJ Pancakes Batter
PBJ Pancakes
1 large egg
1 cup all-purpose flour (I did 1/2 c all-purpose and 1/2 c whole wheat)
2-3 tablespoons milk
3/4 cup Toddler Jet Fuel (V8 Splash will work too)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons peanut butter
3 teaspoons baking powder
Directions
Beat egg in a medium bowl with a hand beater or whisk until fluffy. Beat in remaining ingredients except milk just until smooth. Add in milk until the desired thickness is reached. Heat griddle or skillet over medium hear or to 375º. Grease griddle or skillet if necessary. Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto the hot griddle. Cook until pancake is bubbly on top, puffed and dry around the edges. Turn and cook the other side until golden brown. Top with jelly or peanut butter if desired.
The next time that I make these for the fam, I’ll probably stick to just white flour. Normally I really whole wheat, but it just doesn’t do it for me in pancakes and waffles. Or maybe I’ll just change the ratio so there is more white flour.

Ha ha … this reminds me of the time I had jaw reconstruction, so I couldn’t chew for a month. I got so desperate for a smoothie alternative that I blended a PBJ sandwich! Not the best idea …

@Heidi, Eww! It sounds good in theory, though.
