Happy Pancake Tuesday! Lent starts tomorrow for those that observe. Before the fasting that occurs during the Lenten season, some like to celebrate by eating pancakes the day before Ash Wednesday. This day is also called Shrove Tuesday, Fat Tuesday, or Mardi Gras depending on what country you’re in.

Whether or not you observe Lent, I think we can all agree that a day dedicated to pancakes is a good idea. And, oh my goodness, do I have a delicious way for you to celebrate today! Peanut Butter Pancakes with Maple Peanut Butter Syrup! You are going to want to make these as asap!

These pancakes are soft and fluffy and p-a-c-k-e-d with peanut butter goodness! A ½ cup of peanut butter in the batter and then topped off with a creamy peanut butter sauce for an extra nutty punch. I used spelt flour in these because it tends to be lighter and produce softer/fluffier results than traditional wheat flours.

Proof of how delicious spelt flour is can be found in my Baked Apple Cider Donuts, Chai Spiced Pumpkin Layer Cake, Peaches and Cream Dairy Free Donuts, and Fresh Strawberry Cupcakes.

And, although, it does contain gluten, spelt flour is easier to digest than the gluten in wheat (note: it is NOT suitable for those with celiac disease).

Let’s take a moment to discuss this Maple Peanut Butter Syrup. This sweet, creamy, peanutty, totally drinkable, delicious sauce. You can adjust the thickness of the sauce easily by simply adding an extra tbsp or two of non-dairy milk. You MUST give it a try right from a spoon…or your finger. You won’t regret it, I promise!

I almost didn’t have any left for the peanut butter pancakes. I was very close to calling it my morning smoothie and getting on with my day. But for a more balanced nutty breakfast sip, try my Peanut Butter Cup Smoothie.

My kids have declared these Peanut Butter Pancakes their new favorite pancakes. We had them three days in a row with none leftover each time. You think I would have wised up and doubled the batch after the first time, but it did give me opportunity to make triple sure the recipe was perfect to share with all of you!

This recipe actually makes quite a few pancakes to begin with, about 14if you use ¼ cup of batter for each one. Three kids eating plus myself (hubby doesn’t like peanut butter so too bad for him!) – you do the math – the kids devoured them!

Get to your kitchen fast and celebrate Pancake Tuesday with these amazing vegan Peanut Butter Pancakes!!
