Peanut Butter Oatmeal Brownie Pancakes

28 January, 2014 by Giselle Rochford 14 Comments

Hey There Friends! How’s it goin?

Things are fantastical here in Waterloo! Okay so they really aren’t. It snowy and colder than a witch’s tit (<- always wanted to say that lol) but I’ve been eating these brownie pancakes for breakfast (lunch and dinner πŸ˜‰ ) for the last few days…

…so how can I not throw around words like ‘fantastical’? πŸ˜€

Search for the Perfect Pancake

Some of you may remember that I’ve been trying to perfect my pancake recipe for the longest time. I could never get it just right but thought I’d found the best solution with this baked pancake loaf.Β 

I’ve been resorting to making one of these whenever I felt the need for pancakes but boy am I glad I decided to give more traditional pancakes another go this week!

If I hadn’t I might have missed out on the awesomeness that is the Peanut Butter Oatmeal Brownie Pancake. The name’s a mouthful, I know. But oh, what a delicious mouthful πŸ˜€

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Brownie Pancakes

The inspiration for these pancakes came from a batch of brownies that I made for a potluck last week. I LOVED the combination of peanut butter and chocolate (who doesn’t?!?!) in the brownies but I couldn’t justify having them for every meal…unfortunately! πŸ™

So when my cravings got the best of me and I was about to whip up another batch of brownies for breakfast, I had the wild idea to try to turn it into brownie pancakes instead.

I was pretty sure my conscience would let me have peanut butter brownieΒ pancakesΒ for breakfast without much fuss, so I went with it. πŸ˜€

The brownie pancakes weren’t exactly fluffy but they were moist, hearty, healthy and best of all: yummy! I’ll definitely be making these again whenever I have a hankering for pancakes or brownies or both!

Two birds…one yummy, yummy stone πŸ˜€

I can literally write an ode to these brownie pancakes, that’s how much I love them! But I think you get the idea πŸ˜‰ so here’s the recipe:
