Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Chocolate Chip Pancakes are fluffy breakfast staples made by mixing buttermilk, flour, and melted butter with chocolate chips folded into the batter. The pancakes cook on a griddle until golden brown with bubbling surfaces before flipping. They have a soft texture with sweet pockets of melted chocolate. Served warm with butter and maple syrup, they make a classic, satisfying start to the day.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups buttermilk at room temperature
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled, plus more for cooking
  • 2 egg large
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • For serving: butter and maple syrup, if desired

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract together.
  3. Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter will be lumpy and that is ok. Gently fold in the chocolate chips. You don’t want to over mix the batter. Let the batter sit for 5 minutes.
  4. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a pat of butter to the griddle or skillet and spread it around until melted.
  5. Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, spoon the batter onto the hot griddle or skillet. Cook until small bubbles form all across the top of the pancakes, about 3 minutes, then flip and continue to cook until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
  6. Serve pancakes warm with butter and maple syrup, if desired.

Notes

  • To keep pancakes warm before serving, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and keep in a 200°F oven.
