Easy Chocolate Chip Pancakes Recipe

Chocolate chip pancakes are a popular breakfast dish that combines the comforting, fluffy texture of traditional pancakes with the sweet, gooey goodness of chocolate chips. They’re loved for their rich flavor and can be served with a variety of toppings. The base for chocolate chip pancakes is a classic pancake batter made from flour, eggs, milk, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. The batter is mixed until smooth then chocolate chips are folded into the batter before frying. How to make quick Chocolate Chip Pancakes: (Scroll down for full printable recipe.)

Dry Ingredients – Use a whisk to sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Wet Ingredients – In a separate medium bowl whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs and vanilla.
Combine – Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients stirring just until fully combined. Fold the chocolate chips into the pancake batter.
Fry – Butter a 12 inch cast iron skillet, nonstick skillet or griddle and heat to medium-high. Divide the pancake batter using a 1/4 cup measuring cup.
Cook – Cook in batches until golden and the batter has bubbled on top, this will take around 2 for the first side and 1 minutes for the second side.
Serve immediately drizzled with maple syrup or chocolate syrup topped with butter.

How to Make the BEST Chocolate Chip Pancakes Recipe

Key ingredients you’ll need to make fluffy Chocolate Chip Pancakes for breakfast: All purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, buttermilk well shaken, salted or unsalted butter, melted plus additional for frying, large eggs, vanilla extract, semi-sweet chocolate chips and maple syrup or chocolate syrup for serving.
Kitchen tools you’ll need: Large mixing bowl, medium mixing bowl, measuring cups and spoons, whisk, rubber spatula, large cast iron skillet or griddle and turning spatula.
These homemade pancakes can be cooked on a hot, lightly greased griddle, a cast iron skillet or in a nonstick skillet. To keep them uniform in size, use a measuring cup or an ice cream scoop to divide the pancake batter for frying.
Don’t flip the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip to cook the other side until golden brown. You can sprinkle with a few more chocolate chips, if desired.

Accompaniments: Chocolate Chip Pancakes can be served with a side of bacon, sausage, or fresh fruit for a well-rounded breakfast.
Chocolate Variations: I use classic semi-sweet chocolate chips in this pancake recipe, but you can also use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even white chocolate chips depending on your preference.

Reheat in the microwave, toaster oven or in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
