Have you seen the chocolate peanut butter that hit the stores recently?  Shut Up!

My boys are all about Nutella, but I never quite got on that bandwagon.  But chocolate peanut butter?  Sign me up!

It’s still a bit sweet to spread on apples (sad).  But by the spoonful or (especially) in a pancake: ah-mazing!

 

Recipe Notes:

*You read it right: there is no sugar in this recipe!  The chocolate peanut butter and bananas add plenty of sweetness to these pancakes!

*Mixing the bananas and peanut butter together helps the peanut butter to incorporate into the pancake batter more evenly.
