Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the leavening agents and seasoning.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth and fully blended.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain fluffy pancakes with tender crumbs.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the mini chocolate chips carefully, ensuring they’re evenly incorporated without breaking them up.
- Preheat Griddle: Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour small amounts of batter onto the griddle to form mini pancakes. Cook until bubbles start forming on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip carefully.
- Finish Cooking: Cook the flipped pancakes for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Serve the mini chocolate chip pancakes warm with maple syrup or your favorite toppings for a cozy and satisfying breakfast.
Notes
- For fluffier pancakes, do not overmix the batter; small lumps are okay.
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based alternative if desired.
- Mini chocolate chips melt nicely and disperse well, but regular-size chips can be used if mini are unavailable.
- To keep pancakes warm while cooking batches, place them on a baking sheet in a low oven (about 200°F).
- Add fresh fruit or nuts to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
