Tips for making the best pancakes
- The most important thing to remember when making pancakes is do not over mix the batter! If you over mix the batter the pancakes will be dense causing the pancakes to be flat and heavy instead of fluffy.
- The pancake batter should be thick enough so that it doesn’t spread completely flat on the griddle or pan. If it’s too thin, add a tablespoon of flour and gently mix it. If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk until you get just the right consistency.
Ingredients in Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Chances are you have all the ingredients on hand for these pancakes. They are simple staple ingredients that are always in our pantry and fridge.
Before you get started making the pancakes pull everything you need out so it’s all handy. It really makes cooking so much easier. We have gotten into the habit of doing this including pulling out whatever pans and bowl we need. I just makes things so much easier in the long run.
I must say even though I love chocolate I really favor the white pancakes with the chocolate chips best. Everyone seems to have a favorite they love best.
The great thing about these pancakes is if you have company of if it’s a Holiday breakfast of brunch make a double batch and let everyone dig in!
The pancakes are perfect served with pure maple syrup but you can also just use some butter and fresh fruit such as strawberries.
There is so much flavor from the chocolate and sweetness from the chocolate chips you may not want to use maple syrup. We always add some pure maple syrup because it really ties all the flavors in together!
So surprise your family with these out of this world pancake recipe some weekend morning. I bet it will be a huge hit. after all who doesn’t want chocolate for breakfast?!
