Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour. 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. 1 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1 cup buttermilk. 1 egg. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted. 1/2 cup chocolate chips. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Instructions: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Gently fold in the chocolate chips into the batter. Heat a griddle or a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter. Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Serve the chocolate chip pancakes warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, whipped cream, or more chocolate chips.
