Chocolate Chip Pancakes Ingredients:
- Flour: All-purpose flour works well. (If you are gluten sensitive, use gluten-free flour; it works well for this recipe).
- Baking powder: gives a fluffy pancake as it works as a rising agent.
- Sugar: adds a little bit of sweetness.
- Salt: balance the sweet.
- Melted butter: A few tablespoons of unsalted butter gives that perfect amount of fat you need for the pancake.
- Milk: I used 2% milk but feel free to substitute with buttermilk, almond, soy, etc.
- Egg: use an extra-large egg.
- Vanilla: adds flavor.
- Chocolate chip: I used semi-sweet chocolate chip but feel free to add your favorite.
How To Make Chocolate Chip Pancakes?
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix the wet ingredient: In a different bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, and melted butter.
- Whisking: Add the wet ingredients to the large bowl of the dry ingredients until just combined (the batter should be lumpy). Last, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Cooking: Over medium heat, spray a flat pan or skillet with oil or butter. Pour ยผ cup of the batter, cook on one side until bubbles form, flip to the other, and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Serve it with a small piece of butter on top and drizzle maple syrup.
Important Tips:
- Do not overmix the batter. That will result in tough, dry, and not fluffy pancakes.
- Keep your eyes in the heat. If the pan gets too hot, remove it from heat to cool down and wipe it off to avoid burnt pancakes.
- Feel free to add any type of chocolate you prefer; also, you might add fruits instead (blueberries, strawberries, bananas, etc.)
- Grease the pan or skillet; by spraying it with oil or butter to get a crispy, buttery pancake. Also, avoid sticking and be easy to flip the pancake.
