Hey guys, anyone want pancakes for breakfast?
Or lunch, or dinner, or even (my favorite) pancakes for dessert! I’m the type of person who doesn’t discriminate foods based on what mealtime category they fall into. I’ll mix and match what I like and eat any kind of food anytime of day. In fact, as I’m typing out this post I’m thinking about how good veggies sound for breakfast so I’ll probably go for something savory this morning. But pancakes, now pancakes are definitely a great example of a food that works well anytime of the day.
Also, I know I know I’ve emphasized my peanut butter affair over and over, but it’s been legit recently. All time high obsession! You get the point. Now for these pancakes I was focused on the protein aspect so the pancakes themselves actually have powdered peanut butter in them to give them their nutter-buttery-ness (<- I’m going to copyright this term, YES!)
I also used one of my favorite short-cuts and added some of the Kodiak cakes Protein waffle mix (you can buy it online) that I love using. By the way, I’m not being sponsored I just genuinely like it. The ingredients are pretty basic and I love the flavor it adds, however if you can’t get a hold of it where you live or you just prefer making these from scratch let me know and I’ll give you a version completely from scratch. Oh, and these are pretty easy to turn vegan if that fits your needs better.
Alright, and now we get into the toppings! Does anyone else get overwhelmed if they let their creativity run wild in this kind of thing? Maybe that’s just me. It’s just that there are endless possibilities! Some kind of nut butter is a no-brainer of course, and then you can add any kind of fruit, nuts, syrups, granola, chocolate, and then top it off with yogurt or whipped cream. The pictured pancakes were topped with some peanut butter, banana, vanilla greek yogurt, and a quick sauce of some extra powdered peanut butter for good measure.
Most of the time though, I’ll go straight for the berries and double or triple up the yogurt on the side, in a bowl, with some granola on top. Haha, so basically my favorite way to eat pancakes in reality looks like $#%*, but it tastes amazing! That’s what counts, right?
No matter how or when you like your pancakes, these are probably my favorites right now, but I won’t sit around trying to convince you all day. Try them out and let see for yourself and don’t forget to let me know what you think in the comments and even share a picture on your socials. I’d love to know what you like to add to yours!

where to look for recipe ingredients
They are listed in the post above under the part that says "ingredients". However if you mean where to buy them you can find them online to order. Amazon.com is the best place to look. Enjoy @sayutimajid!
Thank you so much

Those look absolutely delicious. Any chance you could send some in the mail? haha

Haha, I'd love to @jasonshick! Unfortunately I have to settle on only pictures for now.......but maybe someday!
Hello @gringalicious. I always make pancakes at home for my kids but had always eat it only with maple syrup. Loving that easy but best match... peanut butter and banana. Must try this combination... am sure kids gonna be crazy for it. You have awesome multi-talented skills... cooking, photography and writing. Thanks for this awesome sharing. Have resteemed, upvoted and followed you. This recipe and photo will add the yummy factor on my page.
You're so sweet. Fantastic commenting, very well done. Thanks @ainie.kashif

I love this idea! Pancakes are one of my favorite things ever, and these look mouthwatering... also, thanks for including the macros breakdown and calorie count for the recipe, very much appreciated by those of us who have strict dietary requirements, cheers! :-)

delicioso me encanta!!
Ah, muchas gracias mi amiga @gensequini!
Nice post
Thank you so so much @bappask!
I'm not sure peanut butter will taste good in this combo. Heart attack pancakes?
Haha, well I'm not sure if you can tell the scale of these by the photos but they are actually a very realistic portion and the nutrition facts are really good. As for the toppings I added, they were very healthy too.
If pb isn't your thing feel free to try maple syrup or whatever you like @stadex!
I LOVE peanut butter and bananas on my pancakes! I put bananas in the mix before but never tried peanut butter in as well. The whole protein concept as eluded me so far but I'm getting closer to trying it.
In other words, these sound incredibly delicious and I want to try them! Thank you for sharing them and the recipe.
Well, I hope you can try them and enjoy them @mprgrmmr! Thanks for your support!
wow - I love it!
Will explore and share my feedback...eventually :)
Laughed pretty good and thoroughly enjoy the wording here:
Brilliant!
Haha, so glad you liked my term @worldclassplayer!
I love pancakes. It looks delicious! I follow you.
You're too sweet @minawhite. Have a great day!
I love pancakes and I love bananas, this should be an awesome combo!!
So happy to hear it!
That looks like I could go a whole day without eating after eating it. It's nutritious, it's delicious, it's nuttery-buttery, what's not to like? I would be hard-pressed not to eat the whole thing in one sitting!
Haha, well it's really doable actually @steemedchitty. This one's pretty balanced.
Great post! Looks so yummy :) Amazing food photography :)
Aw, thanks @crissimoes! I'm flattered.

This shows the level of respect I have for you @gringalicious. I DESPISE peanut butter, but I still upvoted you. ;)
I'm terribly sorry that you despise peanut butter, but I understand, there are just flavors and textures that each of us do not like. Thanks so much for the support @sgtechservices
It's more the smell for me. I blame my dad for that. He used to make peanut butter sandwiches with so much PB on them that it would make the whole house smell of it. Ugh. Always happy to support you @gringalicious. :)
great idea when you are trying to gin weight , but i am losing weight right now, but the photos are amazing. I live a very active life style you can tell form my post, and at times i need this kind of energy food
Great commenting @johnnyray, thanks so much for taking the time
ah, what a sweet little cake :)
I really like bananas. And in this form, even more :)
I am thrilled you liked it @daio, thaks so much for commenting
Hey my friend, it's been a little while, but I am never surprised at how amazing your food presentations are and I am a peanut butter fanatic. From the size of that fork in comparison to those pancakes, I would definitely need like a ridiculously exaggerated 6 plates, qualifying for gluttony lol jk
Can I please have the full recipe....? meaning... the recipe for your creative and 5 star quality imagination with these gourmet meals you share with us without fail everyday here on Steemit. Please keep up the great leadership in the food, photography, life, cooking, baking and recipes hashtags. Haha
You continue to be an amazing writer. I deeply apologize for not being able to comment on your post. I am spread so thin both with time and with voting power. I do what little I can when I can. Thanks again @verbal-d
Oh you are most welcome my friend, no problem, I had to stop by and show I am still around. I feel the same way you are. We are community leaders and are all over the many realms and sub communities of our vast Steemit world lol. Thank you for your support, and look forward to browsing through more of your amazing creations. I shall catch you in a future post in the future lol

Beautiful Read ! banana decoration is awesome for breakfast hope this could delicious too as they seems ;)
Thanks so much @funnystuff. I really appreciate you commenting on my post
Wow! Us usual and everyday you make me hungry with your delicious and nice recipes , these pancakes looks so yummy especially when you put the bananas 🍌.
I am thrilled you liked it @creativewoman. Thanks so very much for all of your support
Unfortunately I don't like peanut butter, but the images are superb and very appetizing!
I am so glad you liked the images @dmcamera
Makes everything so appetizing (even peanut butter) when the images are good! 🙂
Before the fork came into view, I thought this stack of pancakes was HUUUGE. Once the fork arrived on the scene, I realized that this is the perfect compact stack for one hungry gal (or guy). Peanut butter and bananas are meant to be together. Putting them with pancakes...well I won't argue with ya!
I glad the fork showed up in time. So sorry for the delay in responding, I've been swamped!!

Annnnnnnnd now I'm hungry!
Thanks so much @ryn
Literally just had dinner and was craving something sweet and of course I stumbled across your post...looks amazing!! Really love the presentation (as usual) and effort you put into your blog posts. Great work as always keep it up!
p.s. really feel for those that say they don't like peanut butter, I'm an understanding person but how can you not like PB !!
I have a huge family so I know about people not liking certain things. I much I don't understand, it doesn't change the fact that they don't like it, so, that's ok.
Awesome commenting as always @phamished, I really appreciate it. So sorry it took me so long to respond, it's just been super crazy
No worries, thanks for even taking the time to reply, appreciate it. Hope it's the good kind of crazy! Gives life meaning ;)
