Ingredients
Scale
To make your Easy Heart-Shaped Pancakes with Chocolate Chips, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips (or more, to taste)
- Cooking spray or extra butter for greasing
- Toppings of choice (whipped cream, syrup, fresh fruit, etc.)
Instructions
Make the Pancake Batter:
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Combine the Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter may be a little lumpy, but that’s okay—don’t overmix.
- Fold in the Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Cook the Pancakes:
- Prepare the Griddle or Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or butter.
- Pour the Batter into Heart Shapes: To make heart shapes, you can either use a heart-shaped pancake mold or carefully pour the batter into a heart shape using a squeeze bottle or spoon.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of the pancake batter into each heart mold or shape. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Serve the Pancakes:
- Serve Warm: Stack the pancakes on plates and top with your favorite toppings such as whipped cream, syrup, fresh berries, or more chocolate chips. Serve immediately while they’re warm.
