Homemade Chocolate Chip Pancakes

These chocolate chip pancakes are so fluffy and perfectly tender. They’re made from a simple pancake batter that has mashed chocolates so the chocolate flavor is evenly dispersed throughout with no added sugar.
You can add the bananas sweeten it up just enough.

Serve with a pat of butter and some drink for a perfectly simple breakfast.

You know those mornings when everything feels just a little off, Like your hair is a mess and the kids are already hangry and someone and we’re still not naming names drank the last bit of milk Well, that’s exactly how our Sunday started last week and let me tell you, it was total chaos. But you know what saved the day, It was chocolate chip pancakes.

And not just any pancakes these are the kind that fill the house with that cozy smell of childhood because they’re warm and filled with gooey chocolate pockets and they have those crispy edges while staying fluffy inside. I mean honestly, come on now because they’re practically magic.

I made these with my youngest daughter and let me say this, she managed to dump half the chocolate chips on the counter while some of them“accidentally,” of course went straight into her mouth and that’s the fun part, right, Because cooking with kids is always part mess and part memory-making.

And by the way, if you’ve never had chocolate for breakfast then who’s stopping you from starting now, Because there’s no judgment here if you top yours with extra syrup and a generous cloud of whipped cream since I’ve totally done that too.

Oh and here’s a little pro tip for you go ahead and make a double batch because these pancakes disappear faster than socks in the dryer and yes, I’m speaking from experience.

Kitchen Equipment Needed :

• Mixing bowls “one large, one medium”
• Whisk
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Non stick skillet or griddle
• Spatula
• Ladle or scoop “for pouring batter”

Tips for

Don’t overmix the batter: a slightly lumpy batter makes fluffier pancakes.

Use room temperature ingredients : this helps the batter come together more smoothly.

Try mini chocolate chips : they spread more evenly in the pancakes and melt faster.

Cook on medium heat : too high heat will burn the outside before the inside cooks.

Keep pancakes warm: place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a 200°F “90°C” oven while you finish the batch.

Experiment with add ins: try adding bananas, strawberries, or even peanut butter chips for fun variations.
