Milk Chocolate Chip Buttermilk Pancakes
Written by joythebaker on December 12, 2008 – 11:39 am -
These are the four pictures that are going to make you seriously consider why you aren’t in your kitchen right this second making these pancakes.
These are the four pictures that might just have you prioritizing the next few hours, the next few days, heck(!) your entire weekend around these pancakes.
Yea… that just happened. I just dropped that madness on you. I know… totally unfair.
These Milk Chocolate Chip Buttermilk Pancakes will weaken all defenses. They’ll make you completely susceptible to lounging in bed for an early afternoon nap. They’ll make it even more impossible to remove yourself from the couch to get any weekend chores done. These pancakes are perfect for that epic unproductive weekend you’ve been planning. You were planning one of those weekends, weren’t you?
In short, these pancakes are a blessing from the heavens.
Milk Chocolate Buttermilk Pancakes
adapted from BlogChef
makes lots, enough for four people.
2 eggs
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk
4 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled
½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2- 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips (depending on how chippy you feel)
oil or cooking spray (for cooking)
Step 1: In a large bowl beat eggs. Add buttermilk, butter and vanilla and mix well. Add flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well until mostly smooth. Fold in chocolate chips and let batter set for a few minutes.
Step 2: Heat griddle or pan over medium heat. Add a teaspoon of oil to the pan or spray with cooking spray. You can test to see if the pan is hot enough by adding a few drops of water, if or when the drops start to dance its hot enough.
Step 3: Pour 2 Tablespoons of batter onto the griddle. Cook on the first side until bubbles that form start to pop. You can also gently lift up the pancake to make sure the bottom is not overcooking, if it is the pan may be too hot and you will need to adjust the heat. Flip the pancake over with a spatula and cook until golden brown. Repeat until all the batter is gone. Let cooked pancakes rest on a heat proof plate in a 200 degree F oven until ready to serve.

I LOVE pancakes! I’ll be adding these to my list!
Oh my god…I absolutely LOVE chocolate chip pancakes. You’ve got me wishing I had buttermilk in the fridge–these look amazing!
You just hit my weak spot. Chocolate chip pancakes are my all time favorite thing to have for dinner. It’s like dessert and a meal all in one. Yummy!!!
I’ve been reading your blog for a while (I love it!) and this post finally pushed me over the comment edge, I just have to say that oh my god these look amazing. You’ve seriously just made me change my weekend plans. Thank you!
Just wanted to say that I made the soft ginger chewies recipe you recommended for a blogger cookie exchange that http://batter-splattered.typepad.com/battersplattered/ coordinated and they were oh so yummy! Thanks!
Death by syrup. Or perhaps death by photos of syrup? Whatever it is, it just happened to me. They look incredible. And I love the flip-book-like progression of photos. Happy unproductive weekend to you!
the first thing that popped into my head “OH MY GOD”
then my jaw dropped, and i proceeded to drool….
these look absolutly delish!!! i must try these! thanks for your recipies joy! your great! i look foward to reading your blog everyday..
oops i just noticed my typo
oh this pancakes are ideal for Christmas morning. What a nice view
I almost fell off my chair with laughter.. it’s funny how the syrup just goes drip..drip.. then drops on the plate.. too cute! These are so tempting for Sunday’s breakfast and I do have almost a pint of buttermilk left over from Thanksgiving baking…hmmmm
You an are evil, evil woman, Joy… I love you so!
They look amazing!
Those pictures don’t make me wish I was in the kitchen–they make me wish that I was eating those pancakes from off the screen, NOW!
I really, really really wish I’d seen this post before I left work…I could have totally made these for dinner. But it’s too cold to go back outside and I don’t have buttermilk…Oh Joy, why do you torment me so???
buttermilk & chocolate will always go together, perfectly.
perfect photos here.
These look SO great!!!! Thanks for sharing!!
These pancakes look like the perfect “veg out” treat for what is going to be a cold rainy weekend. Cozy and comforting. Great delicious photos!
Since I already have grand plans for my chocolate chips tomorrow morning (preparing mint chocolate chip snow-top cookies before flying to AZ on Sunday to surprise my mom), I wonder if I can substitute blueberries to make the most amazing blueberry buttermilk pancakes ever…?
If not, I’ll just sit here and drool on my keyboard for a bit longer.
i’ve always wanted to make buttermilk pancakes but i never have any of it around! these look really good..perfect pancakes and with chocolate?? wonderful. x
I love your big stack of pancakes! I want to dive right in. I might have to make them in the morning!! Have a great weekend!
Oooohhh I wish I had those for dinner tonight! Joy, what a great blog you have! I love it. I’m from So Cal but have been living in IL for the past year while my husband’s in grad. school. How did you figure out how to bake and get paid to write about it?!?! Share your secret!
I LOVE YOU ! These will be made this Sunday morning .
Yeah, I want to make pancakes this morning. If Grumpy’s not called out on a call before then I am doing it! Yummy!
My husband made these for me this morning and they are delicious! I printed this recipe out and said “honey, I want you to make these for me in the morning”. He totally went out early this morning for buttermilk just to make these
I had mine with bosenberry syrup — they would be fabulous with whipped cream and raspberries, too! Yum — thanks so much!
these sound delicious–and your photos are seriously fantastic. love that maple syrup drizzling down…
Nothing is better than chocolate chip pancakes. Your photos are absolutely mouthwatering. I think I know what I’m making for breakfast tomorrow
My little one is fanatical about pancakes. I can’t imagine what would happen if he ever found out it was possible to have them with chocolate chips. I would never get him to eat anything else!
Looking forward to one of those lounging weekends….in January probably.
My gawd, girl, you are trying to kill us with these photos of yours. I’m about to go cook seafood for dinner, but now all I want are milk chocolate buttermilk pancakes! I wonder if I can have pancakes for dinner, and have seafood for breakfast tomorrow?
Oh my god! totally unfair at 8:00 at night (after I’ve eaten!) Yummm!
I might have to go home from work now, to make some pancakes.
…Or maybe later tonight, to celebrate the arrival of the second half of our new kitchen!
These sound so good right now! I wish I could eat a stack right now!

I used to think chocolate chips in pancakes were disgusting until a friend force fed me and now I’m an addict. Way too much sugar for the morning but well, well worth it. I am DYING from those photos!
They sound fantastic and the pictures are incredible!
waking up to these would make any morning good
Those look so good! Nice shots of the dripping action!
I just made these for breakfast and they are AWESOME!!! I love the idea of making them smaller, it feels less indulgent. My kids ate these up with no complaints. My 3 year old son proclaimed “Mama, these are the best pancakes ever!” Sure, he’s only 3, but I think he’s on to something
The batter itself without any chocolate chips is an excellent pancake batter as well. Easy and simple to make, which is also another great thing about them.
Love your blog, can’t wait to make more of your recipes!
These have got to be the best looking pancakes I’ve ever seen! Wow!
omg this look so gud
These were awesome! I halfed the recipe, since I was making them just for me, and they were still way too many! Next time I will half the halfed version when I make them for myself haha.
I plan to make these for my stepdaughters in a few days! They have been begging me to make chocolate chip pancakes for them. Thanks!!!!!
I am planning on making these tomorrow morning, but I’d like to save the batter for the morning after as well. Is it okay to refrigerator the remaining batter?
oh my god I made these this morning and they’re f****** bomb! I hope that’s okay to say on here…
I slow-motioned…that syrup.
; – ) here!

Nooooooo!
I didn’t even need to see the pictures. I just read the title.
I’m about to make cheese crackers topped with caraway seeds. Why do I have to stumble upon a blog filled with sweet recipes at such moment?
I love your recipes.
I love pancakes, but most importantly my two lil ones love them. Especially when there filled with chocolate chips. I’m going to make these for them and will let you know how it goes!
Thanks for sharing!
Love it,
That’s So Yummy
I just made these for breakfast yesterday and they were great! I also added some banana to the pancakes and topped with cool whip. They tasted more like dessert than breakfast! Thanks for the recipe.
These are sooooo yummy!!!!!! I made them at Easter and called the Easter Egg Pancakes cause they were my only chocolate over the holiday (deprived I know!). Will be making them again for sure!!

I just fulfilled a half-year dream and made these pancakes for Saturday breakfast. Good thing I don’t have plans for the next 10 hours – I need a nap! Kidding – they are awesome!!
