Peanut Butter Pancakes

I love peanut butter. The problem is, even with the all natural kinds, they add a lot of oil.

I recently bought a powdered peanut butter from No Name Nutrition. Then my husband found some powdered peanut butter at Whole Foods. I've heard they carry some at HyVee, but I have yet to find some.



We've used it in smoothies. I love a smoothie with bananas, powdered peanut butter, freshly ground flax seed and chipped ice. Yummy! 

We also love pancakes on Saturday mornings. I'm always trying to find different recipes to make. I found this recipe and modified it. They were so good!

Peanut Butter Pancakes


The things I changed:

  • Powdered peanut butter for real peanut butter
  • Almond Milk for Cows milk
  • Olive Oil for Butter
  • I have yet to change out the sugar, but plan to. I have a hard time figuring out how much of natural sugars to replace in for sugar. I'm still working on that.
     
Mix the dry ingredients, mix the wet ingredients and combine the two. Then make your pancakes.

We had more than just pancakes, but I took a shot of a pancake on a plate.

Blueberry Pancakes With Coconut Flour

I got some coconut flour to review. I've had problems replacing all recipes with it. Some food just turn out too dense. I love that when I use it, less sweetener is needed for the foods to taste good. Coconut has natural sweetener in it. What to do to make foods less dense? I just use part all purpose or whole wheat flour and the other part coconut flour. This works great! 1 Organic Coconut Flour - 2.2 lbs.


This morning I made Blueberry Pancakes. A basic recipe of Crepes worked great. Than I added my own modifications. *Remember Coconut Flour makes recipes more dense.

In a bowl combine 2 beaten eggs, 1 1/2 cups almond milk, 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup coconut flour, 1 tablespoon coconut oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir well! Then I spooned it onto a cooking platter and plopped in some blueberries. My kids and I loved them! I always add blueberries separate from the batter because my husband likes his pancakes plain. He liked his to! 32-oz. - Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil - 1 quart



If you order either of the things above, through the links provided you can get a free coconut oil recipe book with your order!
