Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes with Peanut Butter Syrup

Banana chocolate chip pancakes served with peanut butter maple syrup. Breakfast of champions!

The weekend called. It wants these Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes with Peanut Butter Syrup!

A FEW THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT THIS RECIPE:

• Don’t overmix the batter! It’s okay if there are still lumps after you’re done mixing.
• Originally, I made these pancakes several years ago with chopped up Reese’s cups in the batter instead of chocolate chips. I switched up the recipe to make it a little more achievable using basic pantry items, but if you have Reese’s cups on hand– throw ’em in too!
• Of course, I always, always recommend using real maple syrup! But if you don’t have any, that’s okay. Table syrup works fine too.
