Personalized Peanut Butter Pancakes

This is a great recipe for kids, this would be really cute to do for their birthday or if they're having another important event to "cheer them on" or just to make them feel special.

2 cups original Bisquick
1 3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 eggs

Stir Bisquick, milk, peanut butter, and eggs until blended.  Pour about 1/2 cup batter into plastic squeeze bottle with narrow opening.  Squeeze batter from bottle onto hot griddle to form a letter.  (Make letters backward so they will appear "right" when pancakes are served.)  When bottom side of letter is brown, pour 1/4 cup batter in circular motion over letter to form pancake.  Cook until edges are dry.  Turn, cook until golden brown.  Serve with peanut butter maple syrup if desired.

Peanut Butter Maple Syrup:
1 cup maple syrup
3 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter
Heat ingredients to boiling over medium heat, stirring frequently.  Boil and stir 3 minutes.

Gingerbread Pancakes

For my spring cleaning I am getting rid of some cookbooks, one of them being "Betty Crocker's Bisquick Cookbook" which I've only maybe used like 3 times.  But before I do, I am going to copy a few recipes.

2 1/2 cups original Bisquick
3/4 cup apple butter
1 cup milk
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
2 eggs

Heat griddle or skillet; grease if necessary.  Stir all ingredients until blended.  Pour batter by a little less than 1/4 cupfuls onto hot griddle.  Cook until edges are dry.  Makes 6 servings.  1 serving of 3 pancakes=350 calories, 14g fat

Carrot Cake Pancakes

Does anyone post on this blog anymore but me? Does anyone even READ this blog anymore?

Anyway, tonight I had the inspiration to make these. Breakfast for dinner is the best! And they were very yummy and I thought I would share. P.S. I actually got this recipe off the Tasty Kitchen blog. If you haven't seen it, check it out!

1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. each of ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and ground ginger
1/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 Tbsp. canola oil
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 whole eggs
1-2 cups shredded carrot
1/4-1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Combine dry ingredients, down to the spices. Then add in the brown sugar, buttermilk, oil, vanilla, and eggs. Fold in the carrot and walnuts. Cook on a greased griddle.

*I didn't add as much carrot as the original recipe called for, and I added the walnuts. I served mine with maple syrup and whipped cream but some cream cheese frosting would've been divine as well! These made about 12 small pancakes when I used my 1/4-cup measuring cup to pour them on the griddle.

Vegan Blueberry Pancakes

Sorry it's been FOREVER since I've posted on here! Since I last posted (as my sister mentioned below) my husband and I have eliminated nearly all meat (except for occasional fish) from our diets. It's been awesome! I don't even miss it! You can read why here if you'd like. Anyway enough about me, who knew there were so many delicious vegetarian and vegan recipes? When I didn't know much about it, I thought "What do vegetarians/vegans eat? Zucchini all day? Yuck! No thanks!" Now that I have been enlightened, these foods are so delicious I don't miss eating meat at all. Find out more at www.goveg.com.  Because eating less meat is: better for the enviornment, better for your health, kinder to animals, and cheaper on your grocery bill!

This is a Vegan Recipe: (if you don't want to go vegan, you can use normal cheese, eggs, milk etc. and these will turn out fine)
