Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips
• Extra butter or oil for cooking

How to Make Chocolate Chip Pancakes

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
8. Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
9. Serve warm, topped with additional chocolate chips and a drizzle of cream or syrup.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your baking powder is fresh for the fluffiest pancakes.
• Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps will ensure the pancakes remain fluffy.
• Preheat your skillet and test it by sprinkling a few drops of water on it; if they sizzle, it’s ready.
• Keep pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you cook the rest.

Easy Variations

• Banana Chocolate Chip: Add 1 mashed ripe banana to the batter for added flavor and moisture.
• Nutty Addition: Toss in 1/4 cup chopped nuts, like walnuts or pecans, for a crunch.
• Berry Bliss: Replace chocolate chips with fresh blueberries or strawberries for a fruity twist.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit, like sliced strawberries or bananas
• Maple syrup or honey
• Whipped cream
• A side of crispy bacon or sausage
• Yogurt for a creamy contrast
