What You’ll Need

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make Butterfinger peanut butter pancakes at home. See the recipe card located at the bottom of the post for full details.

All-Purpose Flour– Flour is the main dry ingredient in the pancake recipe.
Granulated Sugar– This is a fine white sugar that brings sweetness to the recipe.
Baking Soda– Baking soda helps the pancakes rise during baking.
Salt– I use kosher salt or sea salt in my recipes.
Buttermilk– Don’t substitute the buttermilk. Use real buttermilk.
Egg– For consistency, use large eggs.
Vanilla– For best tasting results use pure vanilla extract.
Butterfinger– You can crush full size candy bars or find Butterfinger bits in the baking section near the chocolate chips.
Creamy Peanut Butter– Use your favorite brand of creamy peanut butter for the recipe.
Chocolate Sauce– I generally use Hershey’s chocolate sauce.

Tips For Making the Best Dessert Pancakes

Use a nice non-stick skillet for your pancakes
Make sure your pan has been preheated for a few minutes before adding pancake batter. Will ensure you get golden cooking.
For the very first pancake, add just a small amount of batter. I do this as the first pancake is usually the worst out of the batch.
Top with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container, warm to re-serve.

How To Serve

Serve pancakes warm at your next occasion where dessert pancakes are wanted. Serve with a side of fruit and glasses of milk if desired.

Leftovers

Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheating Instructions

Place pancakes on a heat proof plate and microwave for 60-70 seconds or until hot.
