Create the ultimate weekend brunch with these easy, homemade chocolate chip pancakes. This recipe guarantees light, airy, and fluffy stacks loaded with gooey, melted chocolate chips. Achieve café-quality results in under 25 minutes using simple pantry staples.

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, plus more for the griddle
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk the dry ingredients together.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently 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. The griddle is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. You know the first side is done when bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown.
  8. Serve immediately with maple syrup, butter, or powdered sugar.

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • Use mini chocolate chips for more even distribution throughout the pancakes.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute the melted butter with brown butter.
