Chocolate Chip Pancakes Morning (Printable Version)

Fluffy pancakes with chocolate chips offer a warm, sweet start to any morning.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dry ingredients

01 - 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
04 - Pinch of salt
05 - 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
06 - 3/4 cup dark or milk chocolate chips

→ Wet ingredients

07 - 1 large egg
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
09 - 1 cup whole milk
10 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled

→ For cooking

11 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter for greasing

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar into a large mixing bowl. Stir in chocolate chips and set aside.
02 - Whisk egg, vanilla extract, whole milk, and melted butter in a separate bowl until fully combined.
03 - Pour wet ingredients into dry mixture and whisk gently just until combined; avoid overmixing to keep pancakes tender.
04 - Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until hot. Add 1 tablespoon butter and allow to melt for pan greasing.
05 - Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet. Optionally, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top. Cook until bubbles form and edges are firm, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown.
06 - Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing pan as needed. Serve warm with preferred accompaniments.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Do not overmix batter to prevent tough pancakes; gently combine ingredients for a fluffy texture.
