Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• Extra chocolate chips for topping (optional)
• Butter or oil for the skillet

How to Make Chocolate Chip Pancakes with Caramel Sauce

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk and melted butter, mixing 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. Fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
5. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
6. Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
7. Drizzle warm caramel sauce over the stacked pancakes and add extra chocolate chips if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your baking powder is fresh for maximum fluffiness.
• Don’t overmix the batter; this will keep your pancakes light and airy.
• Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning the pancakes while ensuring they cook through.
• Keep pancakes warm in a low oven (about 200°F) if making in batches.

Easy Variations

• Nutty Delight: Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for an extra crunch.
• Fruit Forward: Fold in blueberries or sliced bananas for a fruity twist.
• Spiced Up: Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the batter for added flavor.

What to Serve With It

• A side of crispy bacon or sausage for a savory touch.
• Fresh fruit salad to balance the sweetness.
• Whipped cream for an extra indulgence.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a dessert-like brunch.
