Make light and fluffy chocolate chip pancakes from scratch. This simple recipe uses pantry staples for a quick, satisfying breakfast perfect for weekend brunch or a weekday treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk these dry ingredients together.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk and egg together. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix the batter.
  3. Gently fold in the melted butter and the chocolate chips. A few lumps in the batter are fine; this helps keep the pancakes light.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. You want the surface hot enough that a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. You know the first side is ready to flip when bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  7. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • Do not press down on the pancakes with your spatula after flipping; this releases the air and makes them dense.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute buttermilk for regular milk.
