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 other ideas!

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.

    I agree that pancakes are hit or miss with me as well. I never make them different every time. I have had luck lately with pancake mixes. Is that cheating?

    Hi

    By using 3 cups of buttermilk, is this batter thin? Also I want to make these pancakes without the chocolate chips, so will I still need to use 3 cups of buttermilk.

      The batter is actually pretty thick. My stove is a little tilted so I’ve gotta have thick batter or it slides all around. I assume you would still need the 3 cups of buttermilk even if you don’t use chocolate chips but maybe add it a little at a time until you get it as thick as you want it.

      Thanks for commenting! :)
