Great for Sunday mornings! Fluffy and moist and oh-so-sinful with all the chocolate…
Putting the chocolate chips in before cooking the pancakes may seem a little strange but they don’t sink to the bottom of the batter and are evenly dispersed and melt a lot more in the actual pancake.
For those who don’t like chocolate these pancakes will be excellent with fresh blueberries too.
