Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup peanut butter
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
- 1 ripe banana, diced
Instructions
- Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar in bowl. Beat egg and milk together and stir in peanut butter until smooth in a second bowl. Whisk the milk mixture into the dry ingredients just until moistened, then whisk in melted butter and vanilla extract. Gently fold chocolate chips and diced banana into the batter.
- Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake into the middle of the skillet. Let the pancake cook until bottom is golden brown and there are many small pinholes in the top of the pancake before flipping, about 2 minutes. Cook other side until golden brown and the middle of the pancake is set, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

Reviews
I like the idea of Elvis-inspired pancakes, and these should definitely be eaten with some bacon! However, the peanut butter pancake batter itself didn’t quite do it for me, a little bland and a little heavy. I think you could probably take your favorite pancake recipe and just do some Elvis-inspired toppings and achieve a tastier result.
I found this recipe while searching for a way to use up a leftover banana. I followed the recipe as written and it turned out wonderfully. These have a very nice subtle peanut butter flavor. None of the ingredients is overpowering, and the chocolate, peanut butter, and banana work very well together. They tasted great on their own – we didn’t even bother with any butter or syrup. Also, these reheat very nicely the next day. I popped them in the toaster and they came out tasting freshly made. For personal preference, I cut up the banana into smaller diced pieces rather than slices.
Real good recipe will be making them all the time.
If there were more stars to give…!!! All my favs in one pancake! Oh, and the kids loved them too!
Fantastic and easy, great results . I was able to cook in small batches.
I thought that this was perfect for a sunday bunch it was nice and warm and made me feel all happy inside.
These are really good. I didn’t make any changes. It was to sweet for us. Next time I think it will help if I leave the brown sugar out. I will try these again.
These were pretty great, and sweet enough that they didn’t need syrup. I found that if you melt the peanut butter in the microwave for like 20 seconds, the batter is much easier to work with.
These Elvis pancakes were terrible. I am guessing too much soda. They didn’t taste like banana or peanut butter. They were extremely runny.
Omitted the chocolate chips and added another banana- fabulous!
I will for shore going to make it a gen.
It was super good even though I completly
great recipe. I followed it pretty spot on except I used crunchy peanut butter and didn’t have choc. chips so they were more peanut butter pancakes. I don’t think that made any difference to be honest. the peanut butter really came through which was great and perfect with the bananas. highly recommend!
These were delicious! My husband and I gobbled up these pancakes. I did mashed the banana instead of chopping it and double the chocolate chips. Thank you for this excellent recipe!!! Will make again and again.
My family love these. I make them as directed and I also make a version substituting 1/4 cup of flour with cacao powder which the kids love even more. We eat them plain, no butter or syrup on top. I make double batches and freeze them so that we don’t have to buy frozen pancakes for school mornings.
I left out the bananas, and used about half milk, half buttermilk, because I ran out of milk, but these were fantastic! Using creamy peanut butter was what I decided to do this time around; perhaps I will try with crunchy next time!! Definitely a keeper recipe!! 🙂 Thank you for sharing it!
These pancakes were soooooo good I made these for my mom and I and even she liked them and shes not a pancake person. They had just the right amount of sweetness. However i did add another 1/2 cup of flour and i used 1/2 cup of peanut butter instead of a quarter but they still could’ve used a bit more in my opinion otherwise really good and really fluffy too!
This turned out a lot better than I thought it would, but it is something I would definitely make again. I only changed it slightly in that I used two bananas mashed, and I used a 1.25 cups of milks to make up for the extra liquid from the mashed bananas. Even then, I was afraid that the batter was going to be too runny, but it was hard to tell with the chocolate chips so I made a test pancake and they turned out fine. These aren’t going to be the fluffiest of pancakes (though I did use some pretty old baking powder, so that might’ve been the problem) but they weren’t too thin. Almost old fashion style. They were flavorful, but I feel like there still wasn’t enough banana. The hardest part was whisking the peanut butter into the milk, and I was worried that .25 cups of it was still going to over power the whole dish, but it was basically the perfect amount. In the future I would probably up it to three bananas. Maybe a smidgen less of milk/more flour, and a few more chocolate chips. But that’s just my preference in flavor. I had guests over for breakfast, and they thought they were so good and asked for the recipe! Definitely something to try!!!
I wanted to try a different pancake recipe and found it. These are tasty!! I would cut down on the amount of chocolate chips just so they are not super sweet especially if you put maple syrup on them, but other than that I would definitely make them again.
My husband said these were the best pancakes he has ever had:) Like a previous reviewer, I used a blender to mix everything up, and I omitted the chocolate chips.
Not bad, although a bit too sweet for my tastes. However, I shouldn’t have topped with syrup. More bananas for topping would’ve worked best for me. I didn’t find the batter too thick or too runny. Not sure if this made the difference, but I used soy milk and creamy peanut butter, which is all we had. I got seven pancakes out of this and topped with butter, chocolate chips, bananas, and syrup.
