As you know, I love pancakes–whether plain or with all the goop on top! This is a simple pancake recipe that includes chocolate chips in the batter with maple syrup drizzled over top.

It’s just enough sweetness for me. If you’re a chocolate chip fan you will love these pancakes. In fact, I think chocolate chip pancakes are my favorite of all pancakes though I am trying to wean myself and use more fruits instead. For those of you who really want a chocolate fix, feel free to sprinkle more chocolate chips on top of your pancakes, if you desire.

These are quick and easy to assemble too. My only recommendation is that you press the chocolate chips down into the batter with your fingers (or the back of a fork) after you drop them over top of the pancake batter in the skillet or griddle. This prevents them from burning or sticking on the bottom of the pan when you flip the pancakes over.

If you’re looking for a great recipe for Saturday or Sunday breakfasts, consider these great tasting pancakes. They are such a treat! Your kids will be so happy you indulged them in this delicious breakfast. Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Pancakes are almost a guilt-free pleasure. Except for the chocolate chips the recipe is almost healthy! 🙂

When I first posted this recipe in March 2013, I was still using an iPhone for a camera. I’ve been going back through all my first-year recipes and remaking them so I can retake pictures so that they look more attractive and pleasurable to the eye. I recently remade these pancakes for breakfast (May 2015) and retook the pictures. I think these pictures do a little more justice to such splendid pancakes. 🙂

We love Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Pancakes–and this gluten free recipe is excellent.

Your kids will polish off these pancakes in no time!

This recipe for Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Pancakes makes 5 pancakes – enough for two people. You will have to double or triple the recipe if you are making for a large family.

Here’s what I did.

I used these ingredients. I no longer recommend using Pamela’s gluten free products since the flavor is off. But those were all that was available in early 2013-2015ish time frame..

Place GF flour in a mixing bowl. Add an egg and  canola oil.

Add vanilla and milk.

Whisk ingredients together.

Pour batter into pan. Top with chocolate chips. I used about 15-20 chocolate chips in each pancake. Press chocolate chips down into the pancake with your finger or the back of a fork (a better option 🙂  ). This will prevent the chocolate chips from sticking to the bottom of the pan and scorching when you flip the pancakes.

When I turned the pancakes over the chocolate chips didn’t stick to the bottom of the pan and make a mess.

Stack chocolate chip pancakes on a plate. Garnish with more chocolate chips if desired.

Drizzle with maple syrup (though it’s more expensive it’s so much healthier than corn syrup).

You will drool over every bite of Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Pancakes.

Here’s the recipe.

Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Pancakes are so chocolaty and mouthwatering. This is a wonderful gluten free version of Chocolate Chip Pancakes. Great for holiday or company breakfasts or anytime you get the urge for pancakes because they're not too difficult to make. You can use either gluten free or regular flour in the recipe and both ways turn out fantastic.

Calories 1212 kcal

Equipment

• 1 large skillet or griddle
• 1 large mixing bowl
• measuring cups
• measuring spoons
• 1 spatula
• 1 wooden spoon
• 1 whisk

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 cup gluten free flour (I prefer Cup4Cup)
• 1 cup 2% milk
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp. canola oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup chocolate chips about 15-20 on each 5” pancake
• 1/2 cup maple syrup for garnish (or use chocolate syrup)
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips for garnish

Instructions

 

• Mix gluten free flour, milk, vanilla, canola oil, and egg with a whisk.
• Pour batter into a heated griddle or pan that's been sprayed lightly with cooking spray.
• Immediately drop about 15-20 chocolate chips into each pancake.
• Press chocolate chips down with your finger (or a fork) into the pancake as well as possible.
• This will prevent the chocolate chips from burning on the bottom when you turn the pancakes over.
• Cook until bubbles appear and the pancake is almost cooked through.
• Turn over and cook other side about a minute or two.
• Remove to plate.
• Keep warm.
• To serve, place pancakes on plate.
• Pour maple syrup over top.
• Garnish with additional chocolate chips, if desired.
• Makes 5 pancakes 5” in diameter.

Notes

NOTE: Pressing the chocolate chips into the pancake batter in the skillet will prevent the chocolate chips from burning on the bottom when you flip the pancakes over.

 

 

NOTE: When I originally published this recipe in early 2013, Pamela's pancake and baking mix was the only gluten free flour available in grocery stores. It does not have the best flavor, nor is it one-for-one equivalence like most gluten free flours are today (2023). Even Walmart's Great Value brand gluten free flour has a better taste and works well in any gluten free recipe.
