Bright and early tomorrow morning, we’re headed to a five-hour intensive course on all things baby. Which is good, because neither of us know anything. Like, seriously, we’d struggle at this if our daughter was born tomorrow. We NEED this. So, I’m excited to learn, but also terrified of how much I don’t already know… and how much I really need to pay attention!

I get bored easily. I don’t have a lot of patience for classes. And I tend to daydream about food.

A pile of pancakes and a cup of hot coffee cures all, right?

Starting our morning off with a fluffy, cinnamon-spiced stack of these peanut butter and banana pancakes will make everything okay. Pancakes tend to have that power. And, it’s just a fact that peanut butter and banana make the world go ‘round. On toast, they’re my favorite protein-packed snack. But nestled inside pancakes, topped with butter and drizzled with maple syrup? Fuggetaboutit!

You’ll love these super soft whole wheat pancakes for lazy weekends that call for something special. They make a big batch, but feel free to freeze the leftover pancakes in a re-sealable container or plastic bag. Just slip sheets of waxed paper in between them so they don’t stick together.

Have a happy weekend… and wish us luck (we’re gonna need it)!

    These look so fluffy and delicious, Georgia, and I hope your class went well. Having a baby is very nerve-racking — I couldn’t even believe they were letting me take mine home after only a day and a half! :)

  32. I hope the course went well! :)

  35. 5 stars
    These were delicious! They are definitely best as smaller pancakes (the 1/4 cup size), a pan-sized pancake was a little too much to handle. Great recipe, glad I stumbled across it!
