Hey Lisa, I’m so sorry for your frustration. I had my son re-make this recipe tonight after seeing your comment. I remembered this being a very thick pancake batter, but I found that adding an additional splash of milk this time delivered the best results. So, thank you for leaving a comment that inspired me to re-test and improve the recipe. (I’ve noted the change in the recipe card now.)

Unlike the directions for most other pancake recipes, because this is a thick batter, you’re going to scoop the batter onto the griddle and then press down lightly on the pancakes when flipping them over. (Reducing the amount of peanut butter in the recipe will reduce the peanut butter flavor to a point where it won’t be very noticeable at all. Feel free to do so, but the flavor will be very different.) My whole family enjoyed these pancakes with all the peanut butter flavor and those irresistible melting chocolate chips. I hope that helps!
