These fluffy, golden pancakes are packed with melty chocolate chips, making them the ultimate indulgent breakfast treat.
Ingredients
- •1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- •3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

- 2
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk, egg, and melted butter.
- 3
Whisk the wet and dry ingredients together until just combined; it is okay if there are a few small lumps in the batter.
- 4
Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- 5
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- 6
Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.

Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look dry, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
- 8
Serve hot with your favorite syrup or a dollop of whipped cream.
💡 Chef tips
- Do not overmix the batter; overmixing develops gluten and makes the pancakes tough instead of fluffy.
- To keep pancakes warm while cooking the rest, place them on a baking sheet in a 200°F (95°C) oven.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the milk with almond or soy milk and use melted coconut oil instead of butter.
✅ How it should turn out
The finished pancakes should be light and airy with a golden-brown exterior and pockets of warm, gooey melted chocolate in every bite.
