Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Friday, November 6, 2009 by Pam
My kids have been asking for chocolate chip pancakes for awhile now. They really wanted them for breakfast but I had an early morning appointment to get to so I promised them a "breakfast for lunch" day. They were so excited! I used the base recipe I found in a Cooking Light magazine and adapted it a bit. The pancakes were extremely easy to make and tasted so fantastic. When I asked the kids to rate the pancakes between 1-10 they both said a million. I was also told that I was the coolest mom around.
Chocolate Chip Pancakes:
Adapted recipe and photos by For the Love of Cooking.net
Original recipe from Cooking Light
- 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup of flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup fat free vanilla yogurt
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 2 large eggs
- Chocolate chips (I used semi sweet)
Lightly spoon the flours into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine the flours and next 4 ingredients (through salt) in a large bowl, stirring well to combine. Combine yogurt and next 3 ingredients (through eggs) in a small bowl; add to flour mixture, stirring until smooth.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto a hot nonstick griddle or skillet. Top each pancake with chocolate chips. Cook 2 minutes or until the tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked. Carefully turn pancakes over; cook 2 more minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Served slathered in butter and topped with maple syrup. Enjoy.

Mmm I forgot how much I love chocolate chip pancakes! These are great since they have whole wheat flour and yogurt.
whenever i make pancakes for my family, i always ask what mix-ins are desired. my older brother mixes it up—pecans, coconut, banana, something different each time. my younger brother always, always goes with chocolate chips. and rightly so. :)
LOL, you are the best mom!
Yum! These sound great. What lucky children, you have. :)
Coolest mom indeed! You're putting a lot of pressure on the rest of us!
