How to Make Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Prepare the Batter

Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar into a large mixing bowl. Add the chocolate chips and gently mix to coat them evenly.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla extract, milk, and cooled melted butter until smooth.

Combine

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk just until combined. Do not overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy for fluffy pancakes.

Cook the Pancakes

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Grease with about 1 tablespoon of butter.

Using a ⅓-cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.

Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed. You should get about 8 pancakes.

Serve

Serve warm with syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or extra chocolate chips.

Tips for Perfect Pancakes

• Do not overmix the batter—this keeps pancakes light and fluffy.
• Use medium heat to avoid burning the chocolate chips.
• Mini chocolate chips melt more evenly throughout the pancakes.
• Let the batter rest for 5 minutes for even better texture.

Variations

• Banana chocolate chip pancakes: Add mashed banana to the batter.
• Nutty twist: Stir in chopped walnuts or pecans.
• Extra indulgent: Serve with chocolate syrup instead of maple syrup.
• Mini pancakes: Great for kids or brunch platters.

Serving Ideas

Pair these pancakes with fresh berries, a glass of milk, or a warm cup of cocoa or coffee. They’re also great stacked high with butter melting on top.
