I love banana bread, but if given a choice between getting an extra hour of sleep and waking up early to have a fresh baked loaf of banana bread I'll almost always choose the extra hour of sleep. That's why I came up with these peanut butter and banana pancakes.
While pancake recipes usually call for buttermilk, I actually prefer using yogurt to make my pancakes because it's something most of us already have in the fridge. I usually use a combination of milk and yogurt, but in this case the bananas serve as an additional liquid, so there's no need for the milk. I've also cut out the butter I usually add because the peanut butter has enough fat to keep these pancakes tender.
Moist, fluffy and full of banana and peanut flavor, these pancakes are delicious drizzled with a bit of maple syrup, but they're even better layered with peanut butter and fresh bananas. If you're really feeling outrageous, try layering some crisp bacon in there, I promise you won't regret it!
