Peanut Butter and Jelly Pancakes
Peanut Butter and Jelly Pancakes Recipe
Fact: Most of us lived on peanut butter and jelly growing up. One bite brings back your sweetest childhood memories: scraped knees, cartoons before sunrise, building forts and castles, playing hopscotch, and avoiding cooties—the best of the best. Pay homage to the OG peanut-butter-and jelly sandwich and create a badass pancake with a side of nostalgia. Add the peanut butter to your flapjack batter (instant is fine) and top each cake with warm jelly and a dollop of peanut butter whipped cream. Sprinkle some chopped peanuts on top for an extra grown-up touch.

Easy Strawberry Cobbler
Easy Strawberry Cobbler Recipe
Just because it’s easy doesn’t mean this biscuit-topped strawberry cobbler won’t impress. In fact, bursting with vibrant berry flavor (regardless of how perfectly ripe your strawberries may or may not be), we can just about guarantee that it will. We keep this stunning berry dessert stunningly simple by using Bisquick baking mix for the topping. The bottoms of each fluffy biscuit soaks up luscious juices from the berries while the tops bake up golden-crisp. And sprinkling the cobbler’s Bisquick topping with a bit of turibinado sugar is a pro’s touch for adding visual and textural interest. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for the full cobbler experience.

Pancake Breakfast Tacos
Pancake Breakfast Tacos Recipe
Whether you’re looking for a solo power breakfast or have to feed brunch to a crowd, breakfast tacos are the way to go. Of course, you could go the classic route—scramble a bunch of eggs, brown chorizo, and fry a mess of potatoes to stuff into tortillas—and there’s certainly nothing wrong with that. However, if you’re looking for an alternative, look no further than pancake breakfast tacos. Pancake breakfast tacos are exactly what you’re picturing: all the delightful innards of a classic breakfast taco tucked cozily inside a warm pancake.
Make a batch or two of your favorite pancakes batter (use a mix if you want—life is hard) and fry a bunch of pancakes. Keep them warm in a 200ºF oven while you scramble eggs, sauté vegetables, and brown various breakfast meats. Grate some cheese and lay out everything in bowls. Pull the pancakes out of the oven, assemble, and devour.
