maple syrup, butter, chocolate syrup, extra chocolate chips, whipped cream or sliced bananas
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour, 1 Tablespoon baking powder, 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Next, add in 1 1/4 cups milk, 1 large egg, beaten, 2 Tablespoons butter, melted and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and whisk together.
Mix just until combined - you don't want to overmix the batter or you'll end up with tough and chewy pancakes . Note: batter may be slightly lumpy - that’s ok. You don’t have to try to remove all the lumps.
Finally, gently stir in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.
Heat a skillet or griddle on low to medium heat and spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray or add a small amount of vegetable oil or butter. Note: you don’t want it screaming hot or you’ll burn your pancakes.
Pour about ⅓ cup of the batter onto the pan. You may need to give it a helping hand to spread it out a bit since the batter is a bit thick.
Cook until bubbling around the edges then carefully flip the pancake and cook for about the same amount of time, or until the bottom is golden.
Continue with the rest of the pancakes. Note: If you notice any melted chocolate on the pan while cooking, you can carefully wipe the pan between cooking pancakes. It’s not absolutely necessary but if you want the prettiest pancakes, I would suggest doing it.
Enjoy your pancakes with maple syrup, butter, chocolate syrup, extra chocolate chips, whipped cream or sliced bananas!

Notes
Feel free to add in any other additions, just make sure the total of your additions doesn't go over a cup.
I like my pancakes a bit darker but my family likes their pancakes super light. As long as the middle is done, you can cook them to your desired color.
Watch the heat while you're cooking the pancakes at. Your skillet can tend to get hotter the longer you have it on the heat so you will have to occasionally adjust the heat as you go. To high heat and you'll burn the chocolate chips and/or the pancakes.
You can make multiple batches and freeze them for later if desired.
Himalayan sea salt was used in the video which is why it is pink.
