The Best Homemade Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Last Updated on October 7, 2026 by Mr. B

I love pancakes! It’s a favorite breakfast food in my family. I’m a big fan of chocolate too. Ok, a huge fan! So I decided to kick my pancakes up a notch and make the best homemade chocolate chip pancakes!

This is a simple made from scratch pancake recipe. Of course, it may seem easier to break out one of the boxed brands. But these chocolate chip pancakes are so easy to make and taste so good, you’ll forget about the store bought stuff. There’s nothing like homemade!

If you are trying to make this a vegan pancake recipe, make sure to use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips with no milk fat. I recommend serving these pancakes plain as syrup makes the pancakes a little too sweet. If you really want to top these I would go with a very light dusting of powdered sugar. Try it out and let me know what you think!
