Hi Bold Bakers! As we head into another week of self-isolation, kids at home are probably more than a little stir crazy by this point! Their routine has been thrown off, they miss their friends, and they still have to attend class through webcam. There’s only one cure for the quarantined blues they may be experiencing — my chocolate chip pancake recipe. Already have an account? Better yet? Why not make a math lesson out of it and get the kids involved with measuring! Work doesn’t feel like work if the end result is fluffy, homemade Chocolate Chip Pancakes. Especially if you top them with whipped cream and fruit for an extremely special treat for the kids. But, don’t feel like you need a house full of restless kids in order to make these delicious pancakes — in times like these, we can all use some chocolate!
What Kind Of Chocolate Chips?
I love to include bittersweet chocolate in my baking, as it isn’t as cloyingly sweet as semi-sweet. However, if someone in your house has a big sweet tooth, semi-sweet would be perfect. You could also use milk chocolate or dark chocolate!

Gemma’s Pro Chef Tips For Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Buttermilk is the key ingredient here! It will make your pancake so incredibly fluffy. If you do not have buttermilk, you can make your own here! Melt your butter ahead of time so it has time to cool before you add it into your mix. When mixing spell P.A.N.C.A.K.E and then STOP! Over mixing leads to a flat pancake. A non-stick pan is essential to get that beautiful even brown coloring. Make dollar pancakes to enjoy as a quick snack instead of a heavy breakfast!
How To Store Chocolate Chip Pancakes
You will want to eat pancakes right out of the pan or freeze them, for up to 4 weeks, for a quick breakfast. To freeze, lay the pancakes flat on a cookie sheet. Once frozen, stack them and place them in an airtight container. To reheat, defrost at room temperature for 30 minutes and reheat in the microwave.
