Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (for drizzle)
• Butter or oil for cooking

How to Make Chocolate Chip Pancakes with Peanut Butter Drizzle

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, 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. Fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil to coat the surface.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
6. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
7. While the pancakes are cooking, prepare the peanut butter drizzle by mixing the peanut butter and maple syrup in a small bowl until smooth. If it’s too thick, you can warm it slightly in the microwave.
8. Stack the pancakes on a plate and drizzle the peanut butter mixture generously over the top. Serve warm.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your baking powder is fresh for maximum fluffiness.
• Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay.
• Adjust the heat as needed to ensure pancakes cook evenly without burning.
• Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven if making a large batch.

Easy Variations

• Substitute milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option.
• Add sliced bananas or berries to the pancake batter for a fruity twist.
• Swap semi-sweet chocolate chips for dark chocolate or white chocolate.
• Top with whipped cream or crushed nuts for added texture.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit like berries or sliced bananas
• Crispy bacon or sausage links
• A side of yogurt for a refreshing contrast
• Extra maple syrup for drizzling
