Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1.25 cups milk
- 1 whole large egg
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- as needed butter or cooking spray (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula to ensure even distribution.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon 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 carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with your favorite additions like maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
