Peanut Butter and Honey Pancakes

Adapted recipe by Kitchen Groovy

Ingredients
1 C all purpose flour
1 T baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/2 T sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 egg
1 C plus 4 T milk, plus extra to thin, if needed
1/2 C creamy peanut butter, melted
1/4 C honey
2 T oil
butter
sliced bananas, if desired
chopped pecans, if desired

Directions
Preheat a griddle.  In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.  Slowly mix in egg, milk, peanut butter, honey and oil until combined.  Add a little extra milk if batter feels too thick.  Let mixture sit 5 minutes.  Melt butter on griddle and move around to coat entire griddle.  Pour about 1/4 C of batter per pancake to form 5" pancakes.  The batter will spread as it cooks.  Fill griddle w/o crowding pancakes.  Flip when air pockets start to pop on the top and a quick peak on the underside reveals a golden pancake.  Repeat with remaining butter and batter.

Serve with bananas and maple syrup.  Top with pecans, if desired.
