So….breakfast this weekend. Got you covered.
No need to wake up Saturday or Sunday morning and think of what “special” thing to make because you finally have more than 5 minutes to shove it down your throat before getting out the door.
Did you know it was pancake week? Of course you did. You’ve probably read it at least 100 times over like I have, bookmarked at least 10 delicious pancake recipes to try out and wondered what the hell this whole Shrove thing was, right? Or is that just me? Totally had never even heard the word “shrove” until this week, reinforcing what a good Catholic I am I’m not.
It’s almost a stretch even calling these pancakes because they taste like straight up dessert. There’s peanut butter and chocolate chips in them and on top. OJ will not suffice alongside, pour yourself a glass of milk instead.
And just in case you’re struggling with some post meal guilt after these lovelies (which you really shouldn’t be because hey, they’re whole wheat and packed with protein!)…all can be erased by eating an entire sheet pan of roasted vegetables for dinner. Not that I’d know anything about that.
Enjoy! Unless you’re one of those people that gave up chocolate for lent. Only 38 more days…
- ½ cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter, melted
- ½ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 3 tablespoons dark chocolate chips
- Preheat skillet or pancake pan to medium heat.
- Combine all ingredients except chocolate chips in a medium bowl and whisk together.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Grease pan and pour batter (it will be very thick from the coconut flour) in about ¼ cup measurements onto pan (you might have to shape it into pancake form a bit).
- Cook for approximately 2 minutes per side.
- Serve warm, top with a peanut butter & milk sauce and extra chocolate chips if desired.

I might try these out with peanut flour (and bananas) this weekend. The more peanut-y, the better.
They’re so big and fluffy!
Those look like the perfect pancakes! Fluffy but still somewhat dense/filling looking too. And you can’t beat the pb and choc combo!
What the heck! Did you just whip this up this morning!?!? I’m dying to make pancakes but I have to wait until this weekend and it is literally KILLING me.
These just look incredible. I want them sitting in front of me right now.
haha, no. I totally ate these for lunch yesterday.
Okay that makes me feel a little better about my life!
It’s a miracle if I can even get myself out of bed before 7am, let alone cook, photograph and post about it. Ha!
Haha yeah exactly! If I shower? It’s a GOOD day! Haha
Now these are the way to my heart! All of my favorite ingredients
Very nice and easy breakfast!
these rock! I only have a regular whole wheat flour. Do you think that would work?
Oops forgot to answer this one…yeah it would work, it will just be a bit more “earthy” and hearty tasting. You might want to increase the milk a little bit too.
oh! and have you ever used corn flour? kind of random, but I bought a bag a few days ago, as I was craving corn bread, fritters, corn pancakes, etc. but can’t seem to “perfect” my own recipe. I figured I’d leave it to the professionals (aka, you
!!)
I’ve only used corn meal, which I assume is the same as corn flour just not ground (grinded?) as fine. My favorite use is in breakfast bakes. Ashley at Edible Perspective has a microwave corn flour one that I make all the time. So good and quick!
You make the best looking pancakes always. I haven’t made pancakes in sooo so long, I just never have the desire to cook anything “elaborate” in the morning. And I feel bad for anyone who gave up chocolate…. not this girl!
Oh, sweet jesus, look at all that creamy, nutty sauce. These look so comforting and delicious. I’m just dying for a swipe of those dribbles.
ahhhhhh these look SO SO good!! I totally would love to indulge in these for breakfast one morning..or multiple mornings. the combination of peanut butter instead of syrup and chocolate chips just sounds perfect!! yum yum!!
I was going to comment that these really would make a fabulous dessert, but your beat me to it
Whether for breakfast or an evening treat, these look incredible! And the pictures you take are frickin’ awesome. Have a great weekend!
Thanks lady, you too!
Love these! I would have never thought to put peanut butter on pancakes but it makes perfect sense!
That looks great! I was really craving sweets this morning… probably why I had an oatmeal cookie at work. Oatmeal is breakfast-ish, right?
Of course!
Nothing wrong with a dessert breakfast in my book
Have a great weekend, Gina!
YUM!! so many amazing pancake recipes this week, but this looks so decadent and delish. i have some whole wheat pastry flour that i have had no idea what to do with [after the cookie recipe i bought it for a few months ago!] and this is definitely the answer. perfecto! happy weekend!!
Chocolate + PB—you really don’t need to say anything more.
I love PB and chocolate in any form…and with that PB drizzle, even better!
Wow, these look so fluffy! That always equals an awesome pancake in my books
And I actually have coconut flour right now! I think that alone calls for pancakes this weekend 
My hubby doesn’t like it when I mess with his plain old boring pancakes, but he can have those and I’m going to try these 
let him be boring, more for you
I recently made your coconut flour pancakes and now I must try these! (the coconut flour pancakes were so good, by the way!)
glad you liked them! These are a lot like those just with a pb taste too
Holy moly! Who can wait for breakfast, you’re right, straight up dessert!
BTW, LOVE your napkin!
I choose to give up not-so-pretty words that come out of my mouth over not eating chocolate. This looks delicious! Thanks for thinking ahead for the weekend!
I’m not big on the whole “giving up” part (I’d rather try and “better” something for 40 days) but that’s one I could definitely use some improvement on. Huge potty mouth over here!
Yum! Peanut butter and chocolate is the best combination. Yum!
Not only do I love these pancakes but I got 4 other options to drool over in the related posts area. This weekend I will definitely be indulging in some pancake love.
Delicious! We have pancakes every Sunday morning. These will definitely make an appearance soon! PB and chocolate! What’s not to love?!
Peanut butter and chocolate, my two loves/breakfast ever morning! These look beyond divine!
These pancakes look divine!
Just found your website through FF Food and you can bet I’ll be back!
Thanks for stopping by!
The fact that I missed out on eating pancakes for “Fat Tuesday” is my excuse for the fact that I may eat them for multiple meals this weekend. And this recipe will definitely be included! Mmm….
Thank you for sharing! <3
I missed out on Tuesday too so I’m doing the same. Just had pineapple pancakes this morning too!
Yum! These look amazing!!! Your photos are beautiful! I just love my morning pancakes!!
I’m definitely making these post-run tomorrow. I’m not excited to run in the cold tomorrow, but thinking of these yummy pancakes will make it so much easier!
Those are some BEAUTIFUL pancakes!! And I bet they taste even better!
Is there ever going to be an end to your plethora of pancake recipes? I hope not….
I am very excited to make these tomorrow night. My fiance loves all of the ingredients so I am thinking he will absolutely love them. I do have a quick question regarding the peanut butter sauce you use. You say to mix peanut butter with milk. Do you have the parts of how much peanut butter to milk you use? Do you melt the peanut butter first?
I honestly don’t remember. I probably heated 2T of pb in the microwave for a few seconds to get it creamy and then stirred in milk until I got a good pourable consistency. Just play with it a bit until you get it how you want.
