Making chocolate chip pancakes with Aunt Jemima pancake mix is quick and easy! Here is a simple recipe to follow, ensuring you end up with delicious and gooey chocolate chip pancakes every time.
Ingredients
1 cup Aunt Jemima pancake mix 3/4 cup water or milk for richer flavor 1/2 cup chocolate chips Optional: 1 tablespoon sugar or vanilla extract for added flavor Optional: Butter or oil for cookingInstructions
Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of Aunt Jemima pancake mix with 3/4 cup of water or milk. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. If desired, add 1 tablespoon of sugar or a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.Add Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips into the batter.Heat the Pan
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can add a small amount of butter or oil to the pan to prevent sticking.Cook the Pancakes
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes). Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.Serve
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter. Serve with syrup, whipped cream, or additional chocolate chips if desired.Tips and Variations
Typically, I put chocolate chips in my bowl of batter, or sprinkle them on the pancakes while they’re cooking. Mixing the chips into the batter can be challenging as some pancakes will have more chips than others, and some chips might fall to the edges or bottom, potentially burning.
To avoid these issues, you can either:
Mix up a bowl of pancake batter and ladle some into a hot pan or griddle. Sprinkle chocolate chips onto the pancakes and let them cook as you normally would. Flip them, continue to cook until they are done, and serve. Make the mix by combining the pancake mix and water/milk first. Then, put the pan on the stove and add the chocolate chips before flipping the pancakes.Unleash Your Creativity
Experiment with variations by adding a dash of sugar or vanilla extract for more depth of flavor. You can also try different types of chocolate chips, such as milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate, to suit your taste.
These easy-to-make chocolate chip pancakes are perfect for a quick breakfast, a sweet treat on a cold morning, or a fun cooking activity for kids. Enjoy your delicious chocolate chip pancakes!
