Fluffy Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Who can resist a tall stack of fluffy American-style pancakes for breakfast? Certainly not me!

These pancakes are thick and fluffy, infused with vanilla, and stuffed full of chocolate chips. They’re so quick and easy to throw together, and you only need simple, staple ingredients.

Whenever we crave an indulgent breakfast, my family always requests these pancakes drizzled in maple syrup and topped with extra chocolate chips.

Ingredients you’ll need

Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need to make these pancakes. You can find my recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete list with their amounts.

• Plain/all-purpose flour
• Caster/granulated sugar
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Salt
• Buttermilk: See my recipe notes below in the recipe card on how to make your own buttermilk.
• Large egg
• Vanilla extract
• Chocolate chips: You can use milk, dark, or semi-sweet.

How to make Fluffy Chocolate Chip Pancakes

To make these pancakes, simply grab a medium mixing bowl and whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla until combined.

Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined, and no lumps remain.

Stir in the chocolate chips.

Heat a frying pan over medium heat, and grease with cooking spray, oil, or a little butter.

Dollop 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip, and cook until browned on each side.

Repeat with the remaining batter, and serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup.

The printable recipe card with the FULL list of ingredients and instructions can be found at the bottom of this post.

NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements.

Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.

These Fluffy Chocolate Chip Pancakes are:

• super quick and easy to make
• incredibly thick and fluffy
• infused with vanilla
• LOADED with chocolate chips
• perfect for an indulgent breakfast

How long will these pancakes last? These pancakes are best served on the day they are made, but can be individually wrapped in clingfilm and stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Can I freeze these pancakes? Yes, they also freeze well for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, and re-heat to your liking.

Alternatively, you can cover leftover pancake batter with clingfilm and keep refrigerated overnight.
