Buttermilk Pancakes with Warm Maple Peaches & Cream

Tip: Place cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 10-15 seconds for creamier results.
Note: Give the pancakes approximately one minute to set up before flipping. They should be ready to flip once bubbles begin to appear in the batter.
Cook time based on preparing 3 pancakes at a time.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup real maple syrup, divided
  • 2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs, whisked
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter used separately
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter Melt before combining the wet ingredients.
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 large firm peaches, pitted and sliced

Instructions
 

  • 1.     Combine softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and one tablespoon maple syrup in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine and set aside.
    2.     In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
     
    3.     In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, two tablespoons melted butter, and vegetable oil.
     
    4.     Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix to combine. Do not over mix. Set aside.
    5.     Melt remaining butter in a skillet set over medium heat. Add the sliced peaches and remaining maple syrup and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
    6.     Heat a non-stick griddle or large well-seasoned cast iron skillet over medium heat. Pour a scant ¼ cup of batter per pancake and cook until golden brown, approximately 1minute per side. Repeat with remaining batter. Tip: Reduce heat to just below medium if pancakes become too dark before they are cooked through.
    7.     Once the last pancakes are on the griddle, return the peaches to medium heat until heated through, approximately 2 minutes.
     
    8.     To serve, stack 3-4 pancakes on a plate and top with some of the warm peaches, a dollop of the vanilla cream cheese, chopped pecans, and a drizzle of real maple syrup. Enjoy!
