Chunky Monkey pancakes

This was our breakfast this morning, and it was delicious!!  I found this particular combination at another fun website called Our best bites. I have seen the maple syrup/peanut butter combo on other websites, but paired with the banana chocolate chip pancakes it was simply wonderful.  I actually ran out of baking powder and so I didn't add as much as the recipe said, but it was perfectly fine.  Still got fluffy, yummy pancakes. I preferred these with the bananas nicely smashed.  I tried to leave a few chunks, but that seemed to make them take longer to cook or leave doughy sections around the banana.
Did I mention I loved the combo of flavors?  peanut butter and banana - I like those together, peanut butter and chocolate - great together, peanut butter and maple syrup - love that on waffles - put them all together.  Delicious.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 3 Tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder (we only used just over 1)
• 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 Tablespoon oil
• 1 egg
• 2 small ripe bananas (mine were more like medium large)
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips tossed with 2 teaspoons flour
• 1 cup maple syrup (I used a butter lite flavor)
• 1/2 cup peanut butter

Directions

1. Mix wet ingredients (buttermilk, vanilla, oil, and egg) in a bowl.  Mix dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt) in another bowl.
2. Mash bananas with a fork in another bowl.  Mix wet ingredients, dry ingredients, and bananas.  Fold in chocolate chips.  
3. Bake on a griddle (at about 350) or in a skillet.  I measured out 1/4 cup of the batter for each pancake.  That made the perfect sized pancake for me.
4. Place the peanut butter in a microwave safe container.  Microwave for 30 seconds.  Stir.  Add the syrup.  Microwave for 30 more seconds.  Stir until combined.
