Description
Fluffy homemade chocolate chip pancakes with a balanced sweetness, crisp edges, and molten chocolate bursts. Perfect for weekday or weekend breakfasts, these pancakes use a simple batter for restaurant-style results.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 cups milk
1 large egg
1/2 cup melted butter
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula; mix just until combined (no overmixing).
Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet and cook until bubbles burst and edges are set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
Serve warm with maple syrup and optional additional chocolate chips.
Notes
Use fresh baking powder for optimal fluffiness.
If making dairy-free, substitute milk with almond or soy milk, and use coconut oil instead of butter.
Adjust cooking time if using a cast iron skillet.
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Chocolate chip variations: try dark, milk chocolate, or chopped nuts.
