Why you need this Chocolate Chip Pancake Recipe
Here are things you need to know about this recipe:
- These pancakes are light and fluffy. In other words, it melts in your mouth and is never overly dense or heavy
- We are generous with the chocolate chips. Oh yeahhhh.
- It is so good you will never look at the pre-made pancake mix the same way again.
- It is also very easy to make, especially after you take note of our tips and tricks down below!
- It makes breakfast taste like dessert! And who doesn’t want dessert disguised as breakfast?!? You know you deserve it! 🙂
It truly is my absolute favorite and the very best pancake recipe. And I don’t use the word ‘best’ lightly.
It is perfect by itself but we have to spread some butter to it and drizzle it with lots of maple syrup…
OMG. SO GOOD.
I’m hungry just thinking about it.
What tools do you need make Chocolate Chip Pancake
To save time and be able to make lots of pancakes at the same time, use a griddle if you have one.
But if you don’t, a non-stick skillet would work just as well. The only difference is you won’t be able to cook as many pancakes in one setting.
In addition to that, you will need a turner to flip the pancakes.
Tips and Tricks
To get the most perfect looking and tasting pancakes, follow up tips and tricks below!
- After melting the butter, if the mixture is boiling hot, let it cool slightly before pouring it into the batter. Avoid pouring super hot butter onto eggs in the batter, because you may end up with scrambled eggs. 😉
- After mixing the batter, if the consistency is too thick, pour more milk to it to thin it out.
- Cook pancakes on medium low heat! Be patient. Let the center of the pancake cook well and the batter bubble up before flipping them over.
How to store pancakes
If you are consuming leftover pancakes within 5 days, go ahead and store it in the refrigerator. Pancakes can be easily heated in the microwave and doing so will not change the flavor and consistency of the pancake.
If you are looking to store pancakes for longer, freeze them. In fact, I sometimes like to double (or triple) the batter and freeze lots of pancakes for future consumption.
It is really nice to have ready made pancakes at hand in the freezer!
Also, if storing in the freezer, defrost them completely before heating up and enjoying them!
Ways to serve Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Maple syrup is the obvious (and super yummy) choice.
However, there are many other ways to jazz up these pancakes in addition to (or in place of) maple syrup:
- Butter – pancakes need a blob of butter on it to give it that salty hint amidst all the chocolate/maple syrup goodness
- Bananas – don’t even get me started on the beauty of the chocolate + banana combo
- Jam or jelly
- Other fruits
- Whipped cream
- More chocolate! Chocolate syrup, more chocolate chips…
