What You Need to Make Chocolate Chip Pancakes
- Flour: Use all-purpose flour for these pancakes.
- Baking powder: Baking powder helps leaven the pancake batter, creating a soft and fluffy texture.
- Baking soda: Buttermilk is naturally acidic. Buttermilk’s acids react with baking soda to improve the rise of pancakes.

- Sugar: Granulated sugar is commonly used to make chocolate chip pancakes.
- Salt: Balances sweetness and enhances other flavors.
- Egg: Gives structure and fluffiness to the pancakes.
- Vanilla extract: Adds flavor and sweetness.
- Buttermilk: Classic pancakes are made with milk, but some pancakes can also be made with buttermilk.
- Butter: The butter should be melted or vegetable oil should be used instead of butter.

- Stack them on a plate and top with whipped cream and chocolate sauce.
