Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Fluffy, chocolatey, and easy to make, these Chocolate Chip Pancakes are a breakfast favorite! Add protein powder for a nutritious twist.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- pinch salt
- ¾ cup milk
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 2 scoops protein powder (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. If adding protein powder, mix it in with the dry ingredients.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Stir in the chocolate chips
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve: Stack the pancakes and top with extra chocolate chips, maple syrup, or fresh fruit.
Notes
Tips for Protein Powder Addition:
- If the batter becomes too thick after adding protein powder, add a splash of milk to thin it out to your desired consistency.
- Choose a protein powder flavor that complements chocolate (like vanilla or chocolate).
