Who loves pancakes for breakfast? And chocolate, too? I know I do.
And sometimes, you just have to indulge. That’s why I decided to give Nigel Barker’s Banana Pancakes a chocolatey twist.
Mini chocolate chips melt perfectly into the batter, but the real secret is saving some to melt and drizzle on top right before eating.
I also ditched the whole-wheat flour and used a little more sugar to up the decadence. I know. I know. The former America’s Next Top Model judge probably wouldn’t approve — but these pancakes are good.
Use a measuring cup to pour the pancake batter on your frying pan or griddle to ensure similarly sized pancakes.
