If you have a weakness for sweet, ripe peaches, these peach pancakes are going to be a new favorite! They’re light, fluffy, and infused with peach flavor in every bite.
Whisk together the melted butter and eggs in a medium sized mixing bowl.
¼ cup butter, melted, 2 large eggs
Prepare the peach purée: Wash the peaches, cut in half or quarters, and remove the pits. Add to a blender or food processor and blend the peaches on low speed until smooth. You should have about 1 ¼ cups of purée.
2 large fresh, ripe peaches
Add the peach purée, buttermilk, water, brown sugar, and vanilla to the egg/butter mixture.
⅔ cup buttermilk, ¼ cup water, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt and whisk until smooth.
2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ tablespoons baking powder, ⅛ teaspoon salt
Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat an electric griddle to 375°F or a large non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat.
After the batter has rested, drop spoonfuls of batter (about ⅓ cup) onto the preheated griddle or frying pan.
Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on the first side. Flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on the second side.

Notes
Yield: Makes about 15 pancakes, depending on size.
Serving suggestion: To top the pancakes, try my homemade peach sauce recipe. It's very easy to make and goes perfectly with the peach pancakes.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Freeze peach pancakes in an airtight storage container or a freezer bag with parchment paper between the layers to keep them from sticking to each other.
Reheating: Microwave until pancakes are warmed through, or place them on a sheet pan, cover it with foil, and heat them in a 350ºF oven for about 10 minutes. Covering the sheet pan with foil keeps the pancakes from getting dry in the oven. If you’re reheating the pancakes from frozen, add a few more minutes to the cooking time.
