Peanut Butter & Jelly Pancakes are a delicious breakfast treat that’ll turn anyone into a kid again!
We love love love having pancakes in the morning for breakfast. My oldest even tries to get me to make for lunch (to take to school). Growing up I remember waking up on Saturday mornings to my mom making pancakes and bacon, and I would douse it all in maple syrup. Heaven. Most days I go with our tried and true Perfectly Fluffy Pancakes, but sometimes I change it up and do something fun.
With these Peanut Butter & Jelly Pancakes I smashed together two of my kids’ favorite things to eat. Let me tell you guys, they are really good! Full disclosure, the peanut butter spread on top of the pancakes is for serious peanut butter lovers. You’ll also want to have a glass of milk handy. If you don’t want that much peanut butter-ness to your pancakes, leave the extra PB off. The pancakes have enough peanut butter flavor on their own. I just wanted to go all out. Which explains the peanut butter chips.

Peanut Butter & Jelly Pancakes
Ingredients
Peanut Butter Pancakes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
Jelly Syrup:
- 1 cup grape jelly or your favorite flavor

Instructions
Pancakes:
-
Heat a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Add in the egg and milk. Whisk to combine. The batter should be evenly moistened and on the thin side.
-
Add in your peanut butter. Whisk until combined and smooth. (It'll take a minute.)
-
Butter your skillet (or coat it with some non-stick cooking spray) and portion the pancake batter into the pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until a couple bubbles form around the edges.Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown.
-
Transfer to cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
Syrup:
-
Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
-
Add the jelly, cornstarch, and water. Once the ingredients have had a few minutes to heat up, whisk them all together until combine. Continue to cook until the syrup begins to bubble.
-
Reduce the heat to medium-low and keep warm until the pancakes are done.
Topping:
-
Plate your pancakes. If desired, spread the top pancake with some melted peanut butter.
-
Pour some the jelly syrup over your pancakes. Sprinkle with peanut butter chips if you'd like.
-
Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
To melt the peanut butter, place 1/4 to 1/2 cup peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl and heat it for 20 to 30 seconds until smooth and viscous. If the peanut butter cools down too much it won't be as runny. Just heat it up a little more, as needed.
