Ingredients

• 8 slices bacon
• 0.5 cups maple syrup
• 0.33 cups peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons white sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon melted butter , or as needed

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2. 2 Arrange bacon slices on the prepared baking sheet.
3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until browned and crisp, about 15 minutes; drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
4. 4 Combine maple syrup, peanut butter, and vanilla extract in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; cook and stir until sauce is smooth and heated through, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and keep sauce warm.
5. 5 Whisk flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk buttermilk, egg, and olive oil together in a separate bowl; slowly pour into flour mixture and whisk until batter is smooth.
6. 6 Heat a griddle or flat skillet over medium heat; spread melted butter on surface to coat. Arrange bacon slices about 2 inches apart on the hot griddle, working in batches if needed.
7. 7 Slowly pour batter over each bacon strip; cook until bubbles start to form on top and edges are dry, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip pancakes and cook until other side is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve with warm maple-peanut butter sauce.
