Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Carefully fold in the melted butter and chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a bit of butter or cooking spray if needed.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them apart.
- 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.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
- Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with additional chocolate chips, if desired.
Tips
- For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
- Feel free to add in your favorite nuts or fruit to the batter for a delicious twist.
- You can substitute the regular chocolate chips with dark chocolate or white chocolate for different flavor profiles.
