Whip up a stack of these incredibly fluffy chocolate chip pancakes from scratch! This easy recipe uses simple pantry staples to create a family-approved, gooey chocolate breakfast perfect for weekend brunch or a quick weekday meal.

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 (buttermilk works best for extra fluff)
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted, plus more for the griddle
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. This mixes your dry ingredients well.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and melted butter until combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a whisk or fork until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine for fluffy pancakes.
  4. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. You know it is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  6. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. You see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set before you flip.
  8. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Serve immediately in a tall stack with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For the fluffiest results, let your batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • If you want a low carb option, substitute almond flour for regular flour, but you may need to adjust the liquid slightly.
  • Serve these best chocolate chip pancakes hot with maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream.
