Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar added)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips (or regular chocolate chips)
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dry Ingredients

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 2: Prepare the Wet Ingredients

  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

  1. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy—do not overmix!
  2. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

Step 4: Cook the Pancakes

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  2. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  3. Cook for 2–3 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges begin to set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden brown on both sides.

Step 5: Serve

  1. Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with extra chocolate chips, syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.

Tips for Perfect Chocolate Chip Pancakes

  • Don’t Overmix: Lumpy batter is key to fluffy pancakes!
  • Add Extra Chocolate: For a more decadent treat, sprinkle a few more chocolate chips on the pancakes just after flipping them.
  • Make it Protein-Packed: Add a scoop of protein powder or Greek yogurt to the batter for extra protein.
  • Customization: Try adding chopped nuts, berries, or banana slices for a fun twist.

These Chocolate Chip Pancakes are rich, fluffy, and full of gooey chocolate goodness—perfect for a cozy morning!
