    Chocolate Chip Pancakes are a perfect way to start a weekend day. These EASY baked pancakes are fast enough for weekdays too! They make breakfast feel special whenever you serve them.

    These fluffly pancakes will become a favorite the first time you make them.

    For those you serve because of the sweet surprise.

    For you because they are SO easy to make.

    Baked pancakes are great for a crowd, holiday or brunch when flipping pancakes individually on the griddle takes too long.

    Meet your new favorite pancake recipe!

    What are Baked Pancakes?

    Baked pancakes are prepared in one batch and baked in the oven.

    Unlike singular pancakes which are poured into a skillet or griddle and cooked on the stove top, the entire batch of pancakes are done at once!

    They are fast to put together with a simple homemade pancake mix.

    The end result is light, fluffy chocolate chip pancakes!

    Baked chocolate chip pancakes

    Ingredients

    These chocolate chip pancakes use basic pantry ingredients.

    This makes them easy to whip up with little notice or preparation!

    • All-purpose flour (regular or gluten-free measure-for-measure flour blend)
    • Salt
    • Baking powder
    • Granulated Sugar
    • Milk
    • Vegetable oil
    • Egg
    • Chocolate chips

    Ingredient Notes

    Flour

    This recipe has been tested with each regular All-Purpose Flour and gluten-free measure-for-measure flour blend with great results!

    Either type of flour can be used.

    Chocolate Chips

    I recommend using mini chocolate chips for these baked pancakes.

    Their size offers the perfect amount of chocolate in every bite.

    However ANY chocolate chips can be used!

    If you don’t have any on hand you can also chop up a chocolate bar and use that too!

    Topping the Chocolate Chip Pancakes

    As with regular pancakes, add your favorite topping. Use one or more of the following:

    • Melted Butter
    • Syrup
    • Fruit Jam
    • Whipped Cream (this option is my family’s favorite)

    Change Up the Flavor!

    Change the flavor of the chocolate chips OR add some flavored extract to the pancake batter to change them up.

    Use the same amount of chocolate chips in the substitute flavor.

    If adding extract use 1/2-1 teaspoon. For stronger extract flavors I recommend 1/2 teaspoon to start.

    Here are some ideas:

    Lemon extract with white chocolate chips

    Orange extract with dark chocolate chips

    Mint chocolate chips or chopped Andes mints instead of regular chocolate chips

    How to Make Baked Chocolate Chip Pancakes – Step-by-Step

    STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9×13 rimmed baking sheet (a quarter sheet pan) with parchment paper or foil. Lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.

    STEP 2: In a mixing bowl combine the flour, salt, baking powder and granulated sugar. Whisk together (photo 1).

    STEP 3: Add the milk, vegetable oil and egg; stir to fully combine (photo 2). Do not overmix.

    STEP 4: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan (photo 3) and sprinkle the chocolate chips on top (photo 4).

    STEP 5: Bake for 25-30 minutes until the pancake springs back when touched and is starting to turn golden in color (photo 5). Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack.

    STEP 6: Allow to cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Cut into 12 squares and serve warm (photo 6).

    Reheating Leftovers

    Store any leftover pancakes in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

    Reheat for a few seconds in the microwave.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (regular or gluten-free measure-for-measure flour blend)
    • ½ teaspoon Salt
    • 2 teaspoons Baking powder
    • 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
    • 1 cup Milk
    • 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
    • 1 large Egg
    • ½ cup Chocolate Chips

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x13 rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray. TIP: leave an overhang to easily lift the pancakes out of the pan once cooled and cut.
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar.
    • Add the milk, vegetable oil, and egg and whisk until just combined. NOTE: there may be some lumps in the batter; as long as it is combined they will come out during baking.
    • Spread the mixture evenly over the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the top.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until the pancake springs back when touched and is beginning to turn golden in color.
    • Allow to cool in the pan for five minutes before cutting into squares and serving.

      I had totally forgotten that I could make baked pancakes. The kids asked for pancakes and eggs the other day, but it’s a pain to try to do the eggs and pancakes at the same time on the griddle. These baked chocolate chip pancakes will be a fun surprise for them
