• In a medium bowl, combine the flours, sugar, baking powder and salt.
• In small bowl or measuring cup, stir together the rice milk and peanut butter til smooth.  Add to the dry ingredients and stir just until a batter is formed.
• Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat.  Ladle the batter by 1/4 cupfuls into the pan.

Peanut Butter syrup

• 1/2 cup dark agave nectar 
• 1/4 cup peanut butter, or slightly more, to taste

The original recipe said stir gently over low heat on the stove. I was too hungry and impatient to wait for that (and I didn't want to wash the pan) so I stirred the PB and agave together in a glass measure cup and put it in the microwave for 30 seconds. It was perfect. Be careful and watch it closely- it can easily burn in the microwave. I have a very small, low-power microwave; a larger microwave would probably only take 10-15 seconds.

This syrup would also make a delicious dip for apple slices. Or ice cream. Or bananas. Or ice cream with bananas. Mmmm.
