RECIPE NOTES
- If you're using natural peanut butter, be sure to stir the peanut butter really well before using in this recipe. You can heat it up a little to help stir it until smooth if necessary!
- I recommend using Skippy or Jiff smooth peanut butter for best results. You can also use crunchy peanut butter if you prefer the texture!
- Add chocolate chips to the batter and finish with a sprinkle of salt if you like!
- Egg-free? A flax egg of egg substitute of choice will work great in this recipe.
