There is nothing quite like waking up to the smell of pancakes on a Saturday morning. These chocolate chip pancakes have become a staple in my house because they feel like a special treat without taking all morning to prepare.

My secret is adding a little brown sugar to the batter, which gives them a deeper flavor than the usual recipe. If you want them extra fluffy, make sure you do not overmix the batter, just stir until the flour disappears.

🧺 Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups milk
1 large egg
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Whisk the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
2
In a separate small bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, it is okay if the batter has a few small lumps.
4
Fold in the chocolate chips.
5
Heat a lightly oiled frying pan or griddle over medium heat.
6
Pour about a quarter cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
7
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.

💡 Tips

Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days or freeze them for a quick breakfast later. To reheat, just pop them in the toaster or warm them in a pan over low heat until they are soft again.
