Is there anything better than chocolate for breakfast?! 

These chocolate chip pancakes are a staple in my house. Everyone loves them and I love that I can make a big batch and the kids can just reheat them as needed. They are light and fluffy and just perfect for chocolate lovers!  

I have a bunch of other breakfast recipes if you are looking for others ideas! 

How To Make Chocolate Chip Pancakes

• Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl
• Add eggs and buttermilk and whisk everything together
• Stir in mini chocolate chips
• Use a 1/3 cup measure to pour batter onto preheated pan.
• Let cook until bubbles form on top of the batter, 2-3 minutes.
• Flip over and cook an additional 1 minute or until golden brown.
• Repeat with remaining batter.

Tips For Making Chocolate Chip Pancakes

• I always use my electric griddle for pancakes – it makes the process go faster and makes perfect pancakes
• If you don’t have buttermilk, mix 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice to enough milk to measure a full cup. Let sit for a few minutes. (For this recipe, it’s 2 1/2 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice and enough milk to make 2 1/2 cups.)

Can You Freeze Pancakes?

Yes, these pancakes freeze perfectly! I like to freeze them in a freezer ziploc bag (make sure to squeeze out as much air as possible) and they will stay good for up to 2 months. 

Defrost them overnight in the refrigerator and then you can reheat in the microwave, toaster, or the oven.
