Instructions
In a medium bowl mix together all dry ingredients. Then add wet ingredients and stir just until combined. The batter is thick and lumpy. Fold in chocolate chips. Let batter sit for 3-5 minutes.
Heat griddle over medium heat and grease lightly with butter or oil.
Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of pancake batter into the griddle. Mixture may be thick, and if so use spoon to help spread the batter out a bit in the pan. Cook until pancakes have bubbles on the top, then flip and cook an additional 30-60 seconds. Repeat with the remaining pancake batter.
Serve immediately, topped with powdered sugar, chocolate sauce, butter, syrup or fresh fruit.
Notes
* A triggered ice cream scoop is perfect for scooping your batter. *Whole wheat pastry flour can be substituted for the all-purpose flour.
