Chocolate Peanut Banana Flapjacks & Vegan Ham Powder?
By Monica on June 19th, 2008
Feeling ambitious last weekend, I woke up early to make pancakes with the aging bananas on my kitchen counter.
Half way into mixing, I thought I’d add some peanut butter and chocolate chips to really spruce them up. I could not have imagined that peanut butter would be so amazing inside pancakes! What could be better than a fluffer-nutter in pancake form?
Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Flapjacks
1 1/2 cups flour
2t baking powder
1 overripe banana, mashed
1 cup non-dairy milk
4T creamy peanut butter
1 cup chocolate chips
vegetable oil
Whisk together the flour and baking powder. Then add all remaining ingredients and mix well. Put your cast iron pan or skillet over medium-high heat and coat lightly with vegetable oil. When hot, spoon in the batter. (I made mini-pancakes which were about 2T of batter each.) Cook until golden brown on each side. Makes about 12 mini-pancakes.
And secondly, I’m bringing you the first installment of Bizarre Search Terms people have used to arrive at my blog. Some of them are so wacky I googled the terms myself to see if my page really turned up in the results. These terms confirm my suspicions that the world is insane. (My responses are in parenthesis.)
“swastika mason jars” (a collector’s item for sure!)
“cooked testicles” (not vegan!)
“tapioca poisoning” (first tomatoes this week, now tapioca?)
“squirt dairy cream in the ass porn” (I fear this person was gravely disappointed when arriving at my blog.)
“i hate bloomington-normal” (me too!)
“baked silly putty” (maybe vegan?)
“dairy goat software” (for extra smart goats)
“massive wieners”
“great white shark pets and fish tickles” (Does one need a special permit to have a pet great white, or to tickle fish?)
“cat helmet sundae”
“creating a bonsai by digging a tree”
“wet french fries” (ewwww!)
“ass farmer” (The world has enough asses, I don’t think we need to grow more!)
“pictures of foods that are bad for you” (err, thanks?)
“people dressed in pizza” (Best Halloween costume ever, though probably messy.)
“vegan ham powder” (please tell me this doesn’t exist!)

Those pancakes! Oh man…they sound like the perfect chocolatey breakfast!
“squirt dairy cream in the ass porn”- HAHAHAHAHAH. I’m not sure which is more disturbing/confusing: the fact that someone actually searched for this or that it lead to you blog. I’m amazed that your site was a result for some of these searches!

I am cracking up out loud! Ass farmer? Vegan ham powder? I do think my fav is the sour cream one because it is just so absurd! And yes, I’m sure the searcher was rather disappointed arriving at your ass-free blog!

HAHAHAHAHA! Those searches are too funny. I should check out my Google Analytics to see if any interesting search terms have led to my site.
And those pancakes look amazing!

I am so going to make these pancakes this weekend! My husband always puts peanut butter on top of his pancakes, but he probably wouldn’t need to with these. And I just happen to have all of the appropriate ingredients!

Those search terms are SO hilarious! I want to know who the hell wanted to see “squirt dairy cream in the ass porn.” Actually, no… Maybe I don’t.
Those flapjacks look insanely good! I actually have time before work this morning to MAKE breakfast (instead of just having toast), so I just may try something like this. Yum!

LOL at the search terms. Unfortunately I don’t have anything that hilarious to add to your list– I found you through Vivacious Vegan. I can’t wait to try those flapjacks– I may even have them for dinner!

Oooh, I love peanut butter with pancakes. Actually, I usually smear some right on top. It’s especially lovely with chocolate chips (baked into the pancakes) and sliced bananas on top. Mmmmm!

I was originally going to post about how lovely those pancakes look, but massive weiners and dairy cream in the ass just put me over the edge. How freaking funny!

That is too funny! I actually thought that you were going to let us know that you decided to add vegan ham powder to the pancakes instead of serving tempeh bacon….
