Next time you make pancakes, add a few spoon fulls of peanut butter to the batter.

Gundam · Jul 23, 2018

My god. I don't think I can ever eat pancakes without peanut butter in them again. On a whim I added some as I attempted to cook pancakes for the very first time in my life at 2 AM yesterday.

This shit is god damn heaven. Surprisingly good with the standard Maple Syrup and Butter fare. I can't describe it but the pancakes were elevated from a blunt force, unchanging "Yep, this is a pancake" experience to a more dynamic flavor and consistency when in the mouth zone.

Is this a thing people already do, or am I just a fucking genius?

Also, share other bonus boppin' ingredients to foods that strictly enhance them.

EDIT: Just in case it matters, I used a protein pancake mix from a box.

Do they taste like peanut butter or is it just a consistency change? IM SKEPTICAL.

ReginOfFire · Jul 23, 2018

Both. None. I dunno. It's like discovering a new color.

Or maybe it's just fuckin' peanut butter in pancakes I don't wanna overhype it but god damn for me it's a personal revelation

Used to add cream cheese to a high protein pancake batter (forget the brand but I think it had a grizzly bear on the box), and it was gooood.

I used Kodiak Cakes, but now that I think about it, I'm not sure if it being a protein mix or not changes the way the peanut butter mixes in.

I already top my pancakes with PB. Mixing it in isn't necessary.

The real pancake mix-in hack is to mix in a few tablespoons of whipped cream.

OK but what if I don't want my pancakes to taste faintly of peanut butter?

You can do this with oatmeal. And then you've got peanut butter oatmeal.

Aha, that's the mix. I think it might have an effect, but pretty much anything I put in there came out good as long as it wasn't too wacky. Blended bananas was another addition I liked. Should have thought to try peanut butter before this.

Then mix in some shit you fucking commie

(Obviously joking! But for real, peanut butter is so good and underutilized. Not as much of an oatmeal man as I thought I was apparently, but I have some leftover so I'll try this out for breakfast sometime for sure.)

I'm allergic to Peanuts you monster.

I've seen the error of my ways. I'm not a goddamned Red!

:(

I'll probably try out Nutella and Almond Butter next, but I think those are all produced in factories with heavy peanut presence, so I'm not sure how suitable of a replacement those would be.

Akainu · Jul 23, 2018

Make me!

Kotto · Jul 23, 2018

I would put honey and vanilla extract in mine. I would barely need syrup because it was so good already.

FutureLarking · Jul 23, 2018

People use pancake mix? Hell, do people use mix to make scrambled eggs too?

So bad, but so so good.

Add peanut butter to everything

If I don't like peanut butter this is a bad idea right?

There are worse ways to go.

I really wouldn't mind if I died eating pancakes.

Subpar Scrub · Jul 23, 2018

Why would you ruin pancakes with that filth?

julia crawford · Jul 23, 2018

Why would i want anything in life to taste like peanut butter.

Sword Familiar · Jul 23, 2018

Bananas work well, too.

Can't stand peanut butter so I'll pass.

I sometimes throw in a handful of porridge oats just to make them bit more filling or I'll be chewing my arm off by 10am.

Gundam · Jul 23, 2018

Update on the Nutella Cakes:

Eh.

The taste kind of gets lost in everything else, and it doesn't affect the consistency in the same way that peanut butter does.

I think if I were to ever have it again, I'd have to use a fruit topping, as opposed to a maple syrup.

Not bad at all, but it's not a super noticeable change to me.

Xiaomi · Jul 23, 2018

You gotta try puting a spoonful of peanut butter/nutella in the middle of the pancake as it cooks instead of mixing it into the batter. Awesome.

Alethiometer · Jul 23, 2018

Huh. I'll try it next time I'm cooking some.

hydrophilic attack · Jul 23, 2018

add beer to the batter

Yes, that is usually where I pinpoint consistency and taste.
I'm quite the rebel

Xita · Jul 23, 2018

Peanut butter is fucking gross

I would never stain my pancakes with that filth

djplaeskool · Jul 23, 2018

Eh, probably keep it out of pancakes.
Oatmeal, however, is great with a dollop of PB mixed in.

Krauser Kat · Jul 23, 2018

Fuuck that. Fluffy airy pancakes from scratch every time

I leave a few globs here and there purposefully un-mixed, so as it tears apart there's a healthy amount of PB goop

Wackamole · Jul 23, 2018

Nope. Keep pancakes as simple as possible.
In fact, throw away almost all stuff in the supermarket that is flavored in any way, for all i care.

Buying pancake mix when it takes literally 30 seconds to mix your own is crazy.

Next time you make pancakes, add a few spoon fulls of peanut butter to the batter.
