Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour (1 cup)
  • Baking powder (2 teaspoons)
  • Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
  • Granulated sugar (2 tablespoons)
  • Milk (3/4 cup)
  • Egg (1, large)
  • Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
  • Unsalted butter (2 tablespoons, melted)
  • Chocolate chips (1/2 cup)
  • Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
  4. Carefully fold in the melted butter and chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a bit of butter or cooking spray if needed.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them apart.
  7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes, then carefully flip them using a spatula. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
  9. Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with additional chocolate chips, if desired.
