Chocolate Chip Pancakes

This past Sunday I made these pancakes for our breakfast and I was reminded of how good they are. When I first heard of chocolate chip pancakes, I thought, YUK. But, then I found this recipe in a "Taste of Home" cookbook and decided to give it a try. We really like them, and they are very easy to prepare. In fact, the recipe is so simple that I would encourage going to the kitchen with a child or grandchild to do some cooking together. I hope you will give them a try when time allows in your schedule. Blessings...

Recipe:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1-1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips
1. In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
2. In another bowl, using a fork, mix eggs, milk and oil until combined.
3. Add egg mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well.
4. Stir in the chocolate chips.
5. Pour the batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a lightly greased hot griddle. Turn when bubbles form on top; cook until second side is golden brown.
6. Serve with butter and maple syrup

Yield: 6 servings
Note: the recipe can easily be cut in half for 2 to 3 servings.
This recipe was written with a Cinnamon Honey Syrup that I will pass along, but I will also admit that I have never made it as it looks way too sweet for our tastes. We love pure maple syrup.
1 cup honey
1/2 cup butter or margarine, cubed
1 to 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Combine the syrup ingredients in a 2-cup microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, on high until butter is melted and syrup is hot, stirring occasionally.
