I’ve got a great recipe for American style breakfast pancakes with chocolate chip that I’ve used for the last five years. Sadly I can’t credit the magazine the recipe is from as there is no mention on the cutout, but I can share it with you all.

Chocolate American Pancakes Recipe

Makes 8-9 pancakes (serves 4)


Ingredients 
125g plain flour
3 tbsp caster sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
125ml natural yogurt
2 tbsp milk
2 eggs
25g  butter, plus a little extra
1 tsp sunflower oil
75g chocolate chips (milk or dark)


  • Into a bowl sift the flour then add the sugar, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda.
  • Pour in the yogurt, milk and break in the eggs. Whisk together.
  • Melt 25g butter and add to the bowl together with the chocolate chips and stir.

  • Heat a little butter and sunflower oil in a frying pan or flat griddle pan, over a low/medium flame until hot.
  • Add a ladle/large spoonful of mixture to the pan, repeating with the remaining mixture. After about 2 minutes flip over and cook for a further 1-2 minutes.

I love serving these Chocolate American Pancakes with warm maple syrup accompanied with a glass of orange juice a fabulous weekend breakfast.

Tip – replace the chocolate chips with soft fruit such as raspberries, blueberries, chopped strawberries or I also like sultanas.
