Is there anything better than peanut butter chocolate chip pancakes doused in melted peanut butter? Not really.
Even if you’re not as obsessed with peanut butter as I am, you can probably still appreciate a good peanut butter pancake! Especially one that has chocolate too. Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips provide just the perfect amount of silky, melty chocolate.
These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pancakes really shine with a favorite classic flavor combo. For good measure, I also added peanut butter chips. It can never hurt to have extra peanut butter flavor, and like the chocolate, they get really melty and wonderful.
I’d never made peanut butter pancakes until slapping these together recently, and I was afraid that they’d be heavy and dense. Nope. These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pancakes are shockingly very fluffy!
I was also afraid that the peanut butter flavor might not ring through strong enough. It totally, totally does.
And these Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pancakes are ridiculously moist. I absolutely love how moist and flavorful they are. These make for a very hearty, filling, and delicious breakfast. They stick to your ribs and keep you satiated all morning, without feeling heavy. They’re awesome.
Um, they’re also kinda like dessert, so FYI.
They taste decadent, indulgent, and dessert-like, but there’s hardly any added sugar, and peanut butter is full of the healthy kinds of fats, and a decent dose of protein. I definitely don’t feel SUPER guilty starting off my day with a stack of these.
Another thing I love about these Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pancakes is that they can be made ahead of time, and they stay fresh really well. Not like typical pancakes that tend to turn into cardboard if you don’t eat them right away. Saturday mornings are for pancakes, yes? But these can be enjoyed every day! 🙂
For another awesome peanut butter recipe, check out this No Bake Peanut Butter Pie recipe! It’s a longtime family favorite, and it comes together in like 10 minutes flat. Awesome.
And for a favorite brunch recipe, this Bacon Spinach Mushroom Quiche Pie is really popular, and for good reason. Make this Almond Coconut Mocha Protein Smoothie when you only have a few minutes to throw together breakfast or a small meal!

Wow these look extremely decadent! I love peanut butter (probably not as much as the hubby) and I have never heard of putting it in a pancake. Looks delish! Have an awesome weekend! ♥Angeline

I absolutely need a stack of these pancakes in my life ASAP. I’m a sucker for both peanut butter AND chocolate chips, so I can imagine these will be killer for brunch! Nice work and beautiful images, too!

We All know that these pancakes look good! Make some, then tell us how well the recipe worked for you, like I intend to do soon, as soon as I have purchase the needed chips. My family of six will likely go ape for them. I will have to double or maybe tripe this recipe.
Sarah says
Indeed, the reviews where someone actually made them are what is helpful. I do believe there are some reviews on this though from readers who tried it themselves! Let me know how you do, Larry. Take care.
Sarah says
Your pictures have me drooling all over the keyboard. I need these in my life!
Sarah says
Haha! They were great. I need to make them again very soon. I’m such a PB addict, and these were such a PB-lovers’ delight!

I love cooking with peanut butter as a way to add tons of flavor without too much sugar and fat. My kids love it, plus they love pancakes, so I know they’d go crazy if I made these for dinner. Thanks for sharing!
I’m hosting a link party on my blog and would for you to stop by and link up with us!
Sarah says
Thanks so much, Abby! So glad you like the recipe! 🙂

I am a huge peanut butter fan, and these have me drooling. They look spectacular! I am featuring the recipe today at The Creative Exchange. Thanks for linking up- I can’t wait to make them!
Kim says
Oh my! There are no words for these delicious looking pancakes. My kids will go nuts for these. I’ve pinned to try soon. Thanks so much for linking them to last week’s Weekend Potluck.
Jenn Martin says
I actually made these so I’m commenting on the recipe and not the photos (which are the comments I find most useful!).
I agree the pancakes we’re surprisingly light for having all that PB. My kids LOVED them (made for Valentine’s with whip cream heart on top). The PB sauce topping didn’t turn out at all for me. It was nowhere near pourable or thin as your photo shows. I spread it thickly like PB on top. I even tried thinning it out with maple syrup. But it’s great even without the topping.
Sarah says
Oh, I’m sorry to hear that you had trouble with the PB sauce. Thank you so much for letting me know. I plan to retest a lot of recipes in 2019, so I’ll make sure that I try to revisit this one too. I’m glad you otherwise liked them, and thanks so much for your feedback! Happy Valentine’s Day!! 🙂
Ben says
I can’t wait to try this soon! Those pictures are amazing!!
Thanks!
Sarah says
Yay! Thank you so much!!

I made these for my son and his friend after a sleepover (I’m a Saturday-pancake making-dad).Turned out ok. Maybe because I doubled the recipe? I live at 4500ft elevation? I don’t know, but they were really thick and dry. I used mini-choc chips and Reese’s peanut butter chips. Melted the peanut butter which did add some improvement. Wondering if I should have just added more milk? More oil?
Appreciated the recipe to try. THanks.
