Get ready for a total breakfast treat — Chocolate Chip Pancakes! These pancakes are sweet, light, fluffy, and completely crave-worthy. Add a drizzle of warm maple syrup for the perfect finishing touch!
1cupchocolate chipsoptional (these pancakes are great plain too or choose a different add-in from below)
1 ¼cupsmilk (add 2-3 additional tablespoons, if the mixture seems too thick)
1largeeggbeaten
3tablespoonsbuttermelted
1teaspoonvanilla extract
Optional mix-ins: white chocolate chips, banana chunks, macadamia nuts, blueberries
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients. Add chocolate chips into the flour mixture and toss to combine.
Make a well in the center and stir in the milk, egg, melted butter and vanilla; mix until just combined. Do NOT overmix. Some small lumps are fine. Let batter rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
Heat lightly greased or buttered skillet or griddle over medium to medium-high heat. Portion out 1/4 cup scoops of batter onto skillet or griddle, cooking in batches as needed. You may need to gently spread the batter out some. When bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges of the pancakes look set (2 to 3 minutes), flip and cook the other side until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve warm with maple syrup and butter and/or other favorite toppings.
Notes
