Create a stack of truly fluffy chocolate chip pancakes from scratch. This easy recipe uses common ingredients and delivers light, airy pancakes perfect for a quick weekday breakfast or a relaxed weekend brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for the griddle
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. This mixes the dry ingredients well.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps in the batter are fine for fluffy pancakes.
  4. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. You know the griddle is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  6. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. You will see bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set when it is time to flip.
  8. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  9. Serve your homemade chocolate chip pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy chocolate chip pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • If you want gooey chocolate chips throughout, add half the chips to the batter and sprinkle the remaining half over the top of each pancake immediately after pouring it onto the griddle.
  • Use buttermilk instead of regular milk for a slightly tangier flavor.
