Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the pancake griddle.
- In a mixing bowl, combine pancake mix and water to form a batter.
- Stir in chocolate chips evenly into the batter.
- Pour batter onto the preheated griddle to form pancakes.

- Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.

Tips & Substitutions
For fluffier pancakes, let the batter sit for a few minutes after mixing. If you don’t have pancake mix, you can make your own using flour, baking powder, and sugar. For a healthier twist, try adding mashed bananas or applesauce to the batter. If you prefer a dairy-free option, substitute water with almond milk or another non-dairy milk.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit. They pair beautifully with Jackie Kennedy'S Cucumber Salad for a refreshing contrast. For a complete breakfast, consider serving alongside scrambled eggs or bacon to add protein to your meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the toaster or microwave for a quick warm-up. For best results, reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to keep them fluffy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat pancake mix instead?
Yes, whole wheat pancake mix can be used for a healthier alternative. Just be aware that the texture may be slightly denser, so you might need to adjust the amount of water to achieve your desired consistency.
What should I do if the batter is too thick?
If your batter is too thick, gradually add a little more water until it reaches your desired consistency. It should be pourable but still thick enough to hold its shape on the griddle.
Can I add other mix-ins to the batter?
Absolutely! Feel free to add nuts, dried fruits, or even a dash of cinnamon for extra flavor. Just ensure that any additional ingredients don’t overwhelm the pancake mix, maintaining balance in texture and taste.
