Strawberry Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Strawberry Chocolate Chip Pancakes are delightfully fluffy pancakes that are filled with sweet strawberries and melty chocolate chips. They’re not heavy or overly sweet either. I think they’re a perfect springtime or Easter breakfast, and if you’re not a fan of strawberries, feel free to omit them.

They will still be undeniably delicious! If you’re looking for a light & fluffy breakfast that’s not overly sweet, you’ve come to the right place. When you make a light and fluffy pancake and pair it with juicy strawberries and gooey chocolate chips, you get the perfect breakfast. The addition of fresh strawberries just sends it over the top. I’ve really been in the mood for spring to arrive and these dreamy pancakes remind me of spring & Easter. Not a fan of strawberries? Don’t worry, it’s still delicious without them.

Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Mixing bowl
• Whisk
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Griddle or non-stick skillet
• Spatula

Ingredients

For the Pancakes:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup diced fresh strawberries
• 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions

1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
   • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. Combine the Wet Ingredients:
   • In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Mix the Batter:
   • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
4. Add Strawberries and Chocolate Chips:

5. Heat the Griddle:
   • Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
6. Cook the Pancakes:
   • Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Serve:
   • Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or additional strawberries and chocolate chips.
