Delight in fluffy, zesty orange pancakes studded with chocolate chips. A perfect breakfast treat that combines citrus freshness with sweet chocolatey goodness.
Gather Ingredients You’ll need flour, eggs, milk, orange zest, baking powder, sugar, chocolate chips, and a pinch of salt. These ingredients create a flavorful pancake batter.
Mix Dry Ingredients In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. This ensures even distribution of leavening agents and sweetness.
Combine Wet Ingredients In another bowl, mix eggs, milk, and orange zest. Beat until well combined. This mixture adds citrus flavor and moisture to the pancakes.
Combine Mixtures Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; lumps are okay.
Add Chocolate Chips Gently fold in chocolate chips into the batter. This adds a sweet surprise in every bite of your orange-flavored pancakes.
Cook the Pancakes Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease. Pour batter onto the skillet and cook until bubbles form. Flip and cook until golden.
Serve and Enjoy Serve pancakes warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Enjoy the blend of orange and chocolate!
Tips for Perfect Pancakes For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
