Fluffy Chocolate Chip Pancakes Recipe Is Mindfulness On a Plate (20 Minutes, 9 Ingredients) Breakfast Brunch Budget Recipes Gluten-free Desserts

If you're like my family and can't get enough pancakes in your life, do I have a recipe for you! This fluffy chocolate chip pancake recipe is what you need on your plate this weekend. When I take a bite of perfectly prepared pancakes with pops of chocolate chips exploding in my mouth, it is better than any mindfulness activity I do during the week. I close my eyes and all is good in the world.

To make these fluffy pancakes for breakfast or brunch you will need just a few basic ingredients. Here is your shopping list: all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, milk, an egg, butter, vanilla extract and chocolate chips. The batter is mixed up and allowed to rest for about five minutes before cooking. Letting the pancakes rest results in the most fluffy pancakes.

Don't skip the five minutes of rest time. This lets the gluten relax, resulting in the fluffiest pancakes. Serve these low-sodium chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast or brunch with maple syrup and butter. You could also serve them for dessert with whipped cream and fresh fruit. Delicious!
