Description

These fluffy Chocolate Chip Pancakes are a delightful breakfast treat, combining a light, tender pancake with melty chocolate chips in every bite. Ready from start to finish in just 20 minutes, they make a perfect easy weekend brunch or special morning meal.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1.25 cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir to blend evenly.
  2. Whisk wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Combine mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently just until the batter comes together and no large streaks of flour remain; do not overmix.
  4. Fold in chocolate chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter to distribute evenly without overmixing.
  5. Preheat skillet: Heat a large non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
  6. Cook pancakes: Pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto the skillet to form each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set.
  7. Flip pancakes: Flip each pancake carefully and cook until the other side is golden brown and cooked through, about 1-2 minutes.
  8. Serve: Serve the pancakes warm topped with extra butter and maple syrup for a classic finish.
  9. Enjoy: Devour these fluffy, chocolate-studded pancakes with your favorite breakfast sides or on their own.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter; it’s okay if it’s a bit lumpy to keep pancakes tender.
  • If batter is too thick, add a splash more milk to get a pourable consistency.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for best results and easy flipping.
  • Serve immediately for best texture, or keep warm in a low oven.
