PB & J Pancake Bites

Peanut Butter and Jam / Jelly is an excellent combo  and PB & J sandwich is the most popular breakfast dish among the school aged kids in US. During weekends, I prefer making pancakes / waffles / muffins for breakfast. I have already posted Pancake mini muffins here: Whole wheat pancake mini muffins and pancake doughnuts here: Pancake Doughnuts.

So I just wanted to try pancake muffins filled with fruit preserves / fruit jam.

We can make it more healthy by using homemade unsweetened peanut butter and fruit jam / preserves made with less sugar.

These PB&J Pancake bites are made with whole wheat flour filled with strawberry preserves and along with Peanut butter spread. These turned out to be yummy, super soft and is a huge hit!!!

Since we are using fruit preserves, I have reduce the amount of sugar in the pancake batter and we can even avoid the sugar.

For eggless version, we can use the batter as in the pancake donuts recipe: Pancake Doughnuts

Super soft!!!!
