Morning Compromises: Peanut Butter & Banana Pancakes
Sep 7th, 2008 by prissycook
It’s been 18 months since I decided to start drinking coffee; Daily. I’ve got to say there are more days that I’m happy for my morning ritual than days that I’m frustrated at the grinding, prepping and brewing of my coffee.
But I’ve also crossed that line where I get really thrown off if my morning coffee ritual is interrupted. I relish and need my coffee quiet time in the morning.
The other thing about drinking coffee is that I usually need breakfast. I still can’t handle coffee hitting my tummy without a little buffer. And the bad thing about that is:
I DON’T LIKE BREAKFAST.
I don’t like a lot of breakfast foods in general. In my opinion a carne asada taco or pizza hot pocket are the best things you can have for breakfast. Eggs? Ugh? Only if there’s a full bottle of Frank’s on the table, don’t even bother.
So, it’s always a cunnumdrum for me when I want breakfast, because I don’t like breakfast.
I LIKE PANCAKES.
I do, but they’re hardly the type of food you want to hang the rest of your day on. What’s the saying?
Eat like a king for breakfast, a queen for lunch and a pauper for dinner.
I don’t quite have that dialed in yet, but I get the concept.
Adding a tablespoon of peanut butter to a basic pancake recipe gives the regular peanut butter a little more legitimacy. Yes? Adding bananas gives it full nutritional credibility. To flip a pancake perfectly you have to wait for the holes.
When you see the holes appearing on the top side of your pancake that’s when it’s safe to flip. IMO, not a bad way to start a morning.

These sound delicious. We have banana pancakes all the time, but I haven’t tried adding peanut butter. … And I agree: The appearance of holes on top of the pancakes means it’s safe to flip.
