Like my strawberry ricotta pancakes, these are for breakfast, dessert or as a mid-afternoon treat.
They are not as thick as traditional American pancakes as I wanted them more like a French crêpe pancake. If you prefer them thicker simply reduce the amount of dairy-free milk to 300ml / 1 1/4 US cups to make the batter thicker. You will also need to cook each pancake slightly longer.
How to make these chocolate chip pancakes
This recipe is very straightforward. First, you need to make the vegan buttermilk by mixing together the dairy-free milk with the cider vinegar and letting the mixture stand aside for 10 mins. I used oat milk but almond or soya milk work great work. Buttermilk helps give a light and fluffy texture to these vegan pancakes.
While the buttermilk is resting, you can start preparing the rest of the ingredients by mixing together the dry ingredients (flour, sugar, salt and baking powder).
I had some overripe bananas so I decided to use one not only to enhance the flavour of these chocolate chip pancakes but also because bananas are a fantastic egg replacer in vegan baking.
Once the vegan buttermilk is ready, you can mix together the dry and wet ingredients until you have a smooth mixture and then fold in the chocolate chips.
Make sure you leave the batter to rest for 5-10 mins before you start cooking the pancakes.
When you are ready to start cooking, heat some oil in a pancake pan under medium heat. Add 3/4 of a ladle of the batter to the pan for each pancake. Cook for 2 minutes or so until some bubbles start appearing on the top. Flip and cook for a further 1 minute on the other side. Each pancake should rise to about 1 cm. Repeat for each pancake until you have used up all the batter.
Make sure you keep the finished pancakes in a warm oven while you are cooking.
These chocolate chips pancakes are best eaten hot. I like to top them with maple syrup, banana and pecan nuts.
