Recipe- Amazing Tea Time Snack Chocolate Chip Pancakes

I don’t know about you but chocolate can cheer me up anytime and any day. I am a chocoholic and these chocolate chip pancakes are one of the best ways to satisfy my chocolate cravings when I have one. These soft, fluffy chocolate chip pancakes are packed with chocolate chips like literally packed! You bite into them and you feel like biting into a chocolate bar. This is breakfast with little indulgence!

I made these pancakes for breakfast and they were finished in minutes. These pancakes are little on the sweeter side that’s why I said they are like little treats. You can skip adding sugar in the batter and also cut down on the chocolate chips to cut down the sweetness and of course the calories.

Usually I do use whole wheat flour in my pancakes but for these I used 100% all purpose flour. I just feel that chocolate chips taste better with all purpose but that doesn’t mean that you can’t make them healthier. You can use 50% whole wheat and 50% all purpose to make these healthier for your family. I didn’t use vanilla extract in these pancakes but it would definitely add to the flavor.
