Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based for dairy-free)
- 1 large egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or plant-based butter)
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (regular, dark, white, or peanut butter chips)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until evenly combined. This mixture forms the base for your pancake batter.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in the milk and melted butter. Ensure the butter is cooled slightly to avoid cooking the egg.
- Create the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir just until combined; a few lumps are fine to keep pancakes tender. Avoid overmixing.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold the chocolate chips evenly into the batter to ensure each pancake has delicious melted chocolate bits.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a lightly greased non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake, cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy and tender.
- Use fresh baking powder for the best rise and texture.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring pancakes are cooked inside.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for richer flavor and better melting.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while finishing the batch.
