Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus more for topping)
• Maple syrup, for serving

How to Make Chocolate Chip Pancakes

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter 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 non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a little butter.
6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
8. Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
9. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with additional chocolate chips and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your baking powder and baking soda are fresh for maximum fluffiness.
• Don’t overmix the batter; this can lead to dense pancakes.
• If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk to reach your desired consistency.
• Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you finish cooking the rest.

Easy Variations

• Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients for extra flavor.
• Swap out semi-sweet chocolate chips for white chocolate or dark chocolate.
• Toss in some nuts, like walnuts or pecans, for added crunch.
• Serve with fresh fruit like bananas or strawberries for a refreshing twist.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit salad for a light, refreshing side.
• Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory contrast.
• Whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
• Yogurt for a creamy complement.
