Equipment

  • large mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • spatula
  • non-stick pan or griddle
  • measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2.5 tsp baking powder (aluminum-free)
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1.25 cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 0.33 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
    This ensures even leavening and a light, fluffy pancake.
  • In another bowl, combine milk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth. Slowly pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, mixing gently. Small lumps are okay.
  • Gently fold in chocolate chips using a spatula. Ensure even distribution without overmixing.
    1. Preheat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat.
    2. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
    3. Pour about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake.
    4. Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
    5. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
  • Stack pancakes on a plate and serve immediately. Add maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

These pancakes are quick to prepare and versatile. Try adding bananas, berries, or nuts for a flavor twist. Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while finishing the batch.
