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
 

  • Prepare the Batter:
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Mix the Wet Ingredients:
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • 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.
  • Add Strawberries and Chocolate Chips:
  • Gently fold in the diced strawberries and chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Notes

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.
