Chocolate Chip Pancakes made from scratch in one bowl are fluffy, rich and loaded with chocolate morsels. They taste like your favorite cookie!
Enjoy the comforting taste of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies for breakfast when you make this easy pancake recipe! You only need one bowl and a few basic ingredients to make these delicious chocolaty pancakes!
So, my daughter asked for chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast last weekend, which was totally fine with me. But, instead of just adding chocolate morsels to our favorite pancake recipe, we decided to make them taste more like our favorite chocolate chip cookies.
You guys, we definitely got it right! These pancakes have a mix of brown sugar and white sugar and a touch of cinnamon — just like our favorite cookies!
How to Make Chocolate Chip Pancakes in One Bowl
There’s no need to dirty a lot of dishes when you make pancakes for breakfast. We use this method for our favorite Banana Cinnamon Pancakes, Chocolate Orange Pancakes, Eggnog Pancakes and Pumpkin Pancakes.
Just add an egg to a mixing bowl, and beat it slightly. Then, add your dry ingredients, and stir slightly.
So, in this picture you can all of the ingredients. But normally, the egg is on the bottom.
Next, add melted butter, vanilla and milk, and whisk together until blended. There may be a few lumps, but they’ll disappear when you cook them.
Sprinkle in some semi sweet chocolate morsels. And stir.
Now, you’re ready to make pancakes on the griddle!
These pancakes are amazing on their own and even better with some toppings!
Pancake Topping Ideas
We usually make a pancake topping bar and let everyone go to town. The kids love to add butter, syrup or honey over the pancakes.
And, whipped cream and a few more chocolate chips take these babies to the next level. Yum.
You can also add sprinkles, crushed chocolate chip cookies and fresh fruit. Bananas, strawberries and blueberries are all good ideas!
