Saturday morning I put Trader Joe’s peanut flour to use in some pancakes of my own creation. They were AWESOME!
I’ve never tried making pancakes off the top of my head before but I really wanted to try the peanut flour in a pancake recipe. I assumed it couldn’t be too difficult to figure out!
Here are the measurements I used (serves 2):
- 2/3 cup of peanut flour
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp. of baking soda
- tbsp. of ground flax
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. canola oil
- 1/2 cup of vanilla soy milk
All into my bowl and given a good stir. Then I ladled out 1/2 of the mixture into 3 little blobs on a hot, greased skillet. While the cakes were cooking away on side 1, I sprinkled on some dried cranberries and chocolate chips. When side 1 was golden brown, I flipped them over and let them go for a few minutes more on side 2.
Plate the cooked pancakes and repeat with the second 1/2 of the batter.
I topped the pancakes with a little drizzle of maple syrup, cinnamon and a few little blobs of peanut butter to really drive the peanut theme home 
. Apparently, I also topped them with a piece of my hair as you may notice in the picture. I don’t recommend that step.
Magical! Soft, gooey, peanut butter pancakes. (I like gooey pancakes but if you prefer they are fully cooked though, you may want to add a little more liquid to the batter.) Served with a big mug of TJ’s gingerbread coffee. Hello Christmas!
See you tomorrow!

Haha, my dog did the SAME thing this weekend
Totally didn’t notice the hair. You’re all good.
And I really really want to buy some of that peanut flour soon. Is it weird that I think of it as a splurge and am yet to actually stick it in my basket- after looking at it on various trips?
I did the same thing for many weeks! I’m glad I finally spent the big bucks though
.
I’m so jealous of all you guys who have a Trader Joe’s nearby! We have nothing similar at all!
Looks good! My cat prefers to jump up on the counter and stick her little nose in my face. Cats.
Haha, that hair, I did not see it, but I will take your word on it not being a great part of the meal! I love the peanut flour! I went through it way too fast and am going into withdrawals! I discovered that if you take a couple of tablespoons of the flour and mix it will a little sweetener and a tiny bit of water…it makes peanut butter fudge! So good! Your pancakes look delicious!
That sounds incredible! Thanks for the tip

Damn – pb pancakes?? Yum! I always put the pb on top, never thought to actually use my peanut flour for the batter. Awesome!
I had to order peanut flour online since no stores anywhere close to me have it! TOTALLY worth the purchase though!! <33 I love peanut flour pancakes! I tried them the first time after I saw them on juliegolean's blog! Glad you love them too! xo.
Okay, as a gluten free person I should totally be on this peanut flour kick! I can’t wait to get some now and make pancakes!
