Cooking Kids

One lunchbox staple is the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. There are few kids who can say they went their whole elementary school life without at least one peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I even had one, even though I hated jelly. I guess it slipped my mom’s mind. Well here is a twist on the traditional PB&J….PB&J pancakes.

Start by making your traditional pancake batter. We use Bisquick with eggs and milk for ours. Add 2 tbsp. of peanut butter to your batter. If making a large batter, double the peanut butter. Cook pancakes as usual.

Give each child two pancakes, a small amount of peanut butter and their favorite jelly. Have them spread one pancake with peanut butter and one with jelly. Lay one on top of the other like a sandwich and you have PB&J pancakes. Most kids will eat these without syrup, but some will like it with syrup. You can also do PB&J add on’s, just like you would a sandwich. You can add bananas, honey, raisins or cinnamon. My husband actually likes these, too. Enjoy!
