Instructions

  1. Plan ahead! The peanut butter discs need to freeze for 1 hour. You can make them the night before too to make this a much faster Saturday morning breakfast.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, cream together the peanut butter and butter. Add the vanilla and salt. Mix well.
  3. Slowly add the powdered sugar, mixing until all of the powdered sugar is combined into the peanut butter.
  4. Roll the peanut butter mixture into 14 balls.
  5. Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Gently press each ball to flatten it into a disc that is about 3-4" in diameter. Freeze the peanut butter discs for 1 hour. Keep the discs in the freezer until they are ready to go in the pancakes.
  6. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugars, baking powder and salt. Whisk until well combined.
  7. Add the oil, eggs, vanilla, coffee and milk. Use a whisk to mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Heat a griddle to about 325ºF. Spray with cooking spray.
  9. Scoop 1/4 cup pancake batter onto the hot griddle. Immediately place a frozen peanut butter disc on top of the pancake. Spoon a few additional tablespoons of batter over the peanut butter to cover the disc completely.
  10. Allow the pancake to cook until the edges start to bubble. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  11. Warm 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter in the microwave until it is drizzling consistency. Drizzle over the pancakes, then top with whipped cream and a buckeye.
