Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder (see note 1)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups milk (see note 2)
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (see note 3)
  • butter and maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg, and melted butter; mix until smooth. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  2. Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium high heat, greasing if desired (see note 3). Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
  3. When bubbles start to form on the first side, carefully flip and brown the second side. Repeat with remaining batter (you should have about 8 pancakes). Serve hot with butter and maple syrup.

Notes

  • Baking powder: This chemical leavener generates bubbles in the pancake batter to help make them light and fluffy.
  • Milk: Cow’s milk or any milk alternative, such as almond, cashew, oat, or soy. From skim to whole, any fat level will do.
  • Chocolate chips: Use any kind you love: semi-sweet, dark c, or milk chocolate chips.
  • Oiling the skillet: If you love crispy edges on your pancakes, you'll want to lightly grease your skillet with oil or butter before adding the batter. If using a non-stick skillet, you can skip the fat and cook the flapjacks in a dry skillet for a smooth, brown surface.
  • Yield: This recipe makes about four servings, 2 (4-inch) Chocolate Chip Pancakes each (more or less if you adjust the size). Feel free to multiply the recipe as desired; it doubles and triples beautifully.
  • Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
