Whyyy have I not made them recently? I’ve beenstuck on a chocolate peanut butter protein shake and sometimes it’s difficult to think outside the chocolate, peanut butter, healthy, milkshake-like breakfast box.

How to Make Pancake Roll-Ups

The full printable recipe is below, but let’s walk through the steps with some photos and a video so you have a clear idea of what to expect. This chocolate chip pie recipe is really easy and these step-by-step instructions will make sure it turns out every time.

Make the batter: mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the wet ingredients and whisk to combine.

Cook: Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into a small saucepan and swirl it so it covers the bottom. Cook for 2 minutes, flip, and cook for one more minute. Transfer to a plate and roll them immediately so they stay rolled as they cool.

Fill: Unroll each pancake and spread your favorite fillings inside like peanut butter, Nutella, or butter. Re-roll and repeat with all of the pancakes.

Serve: top the pancake roll-ups with butter and sprinkle powdered sugar on top if desired. Serve with maple syrup.

But it wasn’t long before my syrup-calling came back and I was filling, stacking (and in this case, rolling)them back onto my morning menu.

Let’s get down to the basics of thesepancake roll-ups. It’s essentially your favorite pancake batter, with double the milk to create a thinner consistency. Then you pour them into a frying pan andswirl it around until it covers the bottom of the pan. Cook for 2 minutes, flip and cook for another minute or so until they turn golden brown.

Then you spread them with butter, dust some powdered sugar and roll them up. All you’ve got to do is dunk and enjoy!
