In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; it's fine if there are small lumps.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Use a spatula to spread the batter slightly if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, regreasing the pan as necessary.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream.
