Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pancakes

So, it’s been a few days since I’ve blogged and I have an excuse, I swear! The flooring on the bottom floor of the house had to be re-grouted so we played house-guest these last few days. My brother Jeff and his wife Bridgette were kind enough to take us in and in return I offered to make dinner for them. I gave them two choices: roasted vegetable fajitas or breakfast for dinner. As you can see from this post they chose breakfast for dinner and boy am I glad they did! These pancakes were so delicious and actually not all that bad for you. The recipe was originally for waffles, but I forgot the waffle iron at the house so voila…pancakes!
