Strawberry Chocolate Chip Pancakes Recipe

Strawberry Chocolate Chip Pancakes are a delightful and indulgent breakfast treat that combines the sweetness of fresh strawberries with the richness of chocolate chips. These fluffy pancakes are perfect for weekend brunches or special mornings, offering a delicious way to start the day.

Equipment:

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

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 cups milk (whole, 2%, or your preferred type)
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
• Extra butter or oil for cooking
• Maple syrup, whipped cream, or additional strawberries for serving (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:
   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
   • 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:
   • Gently fold in the diced strawberries and chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5. Cook the Pancakes:
   • Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
   • Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to set, about 2-3 minutes.
   • Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Serve:
   • Remove the pancakes from the griddle and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
   • Serve the pancakes stacked, topped with maple syrup, whipped cream, or additional strawberries, if desired.

Tips:

• Even Cooking: To ensure even cooking, make sure the griddle is properly preheated before adding the batter.
• Keep Warm: If making a large batch, keep the pancakes warm in a low oven (about 200°F) while you finish cooking the rest.
• Frozen Strawberries: If fresh strawberries are not available, you can use frozen strawberries. Thaw and drain them before adding to the batter.

Strawberry Chocolate Chip Pancakes are a scrumptious and colorful breakfast option that will bring joy to any morning. The combination of sweet strawberries and melty chocolate chips in a fluffy pancake is simply irresistible. Enjoy these pancakes with your favorite toppings for a breakfast treat that everyone will love!
