You don’t need a lot to make these delicious Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes. In fact, you only need 4-ingredients.

PREPARE: First, spray your pancake griddle or pan with non-stick cooking spray. Heat your pancake griddle to 375 degrees (medium heat).

MIX INGREDIENTS: Stir pancake mix and water together with a whisk. Do not over mix. It will be lumpy. Let your batter stand for 2-minutes.

COOK: To cook your pancakes, pour a little less than 1/4 cup of batter onto your pancake griddle. Place two slices of bananas into the pancake batter. Cook pancakes for 1-minute per side or until golden brown.

TOP WITH GOODIES: Once pancakes are finished, top with additional banana slices and mini chocolate chips.

WHAT ARE THE BEST BANANAS TO USE FOR BANANA PANCAKES?

To make this recipe sweet, you want to make sure your bananas are super ripe. You want them to be almost brown. However, keep in mind that you don’t want the banana to have brown spots when giving them to children. They have to be just perfectly ripe.

WHAT KIND OF CHOCOLATE CHIPS DO YOU USE TO MAKE CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES?

Instead of regular-sized chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips are a better option. They spread on top of the whole pancake-making perfect chocolate to pancake ratio. If you want more of a chocolate taste, you can mix chips in with batter instead of just putting them on top

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO MIX PANCAKES?

Consider a Whiskware Pancake Mixer:I use a Whiskware Pancake Batter Mixer to make mixing ingredients and pouring batter on the griddle so much easier!

CAN I USE MILK INSTEAD OF WATER TO MAKE PANCAKES?

Some pancake mixes already have non-fat powdered milk in them which is why you only use water. But, if you want a richer flavor, you can substitute with milk instead of water. Milk not only adds flavor, but the fat used makes moist and fluffy pancakes. You can use any milk that you like. Use dairy, non-dairy, or even almond milk if you like.
