Ingredients

• 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• ½ cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• Crushed gingersnaps, for garnish (optional)
• Whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Directions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, peanut butter, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
5. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
7. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with whipped cream and crushed gingersnaps, if desired.
8. Enjoy!
