Sour Cream Mini Chip Pancakes are fluffy and light with just the right amount of chocolate flavor. Start the day with pancakes and you know it’s going to be a great day!
This sour cream-chocolate chip pancake recipe from Lisa Yockelson’s ChocolateChocolate
Cookbook produces phenomenally rich, sweet, and decadent pancakes. To be fair, they really should be considered dessert. But since pancakes are a breakfast food, we get a pass eating them for breakfast.
Thankfully it makes a large batch. Everyone will be back for seconds. I like to serve them with some nice and salty sausage patties or bacon.
A combination of sour cream and light cream makes for a super decadent and rich pancake batter. The sour cream gives the pancakes a little tang to cut the sweetness some.
This recipe takes more time and effort than making pancakes from a boxed mix, but the fresh taste is well worth it. These pancakes are phenomenal.

I’ve been having dreams about chocolate chip pancakes lately. I’ve been planning to make them, but then realized I still have a whole plate of chocolate chip cookies sitting on the counter. Now, you’re making me crave them again!
Yum! Wish I had a few of those choclate chip cookies!
My son would LOVE these…Of course, anything with chocolate in it can’t be bad, right?
These are very child-friendly pancakes and no, nothing with chocolate can be bad 🙂
aw, what cute little pancakes!
Why didn’t I think of adding chocolate chips into my pancakes?! Yummy idea!
Once you have chocolate chips in your pancakes, you’ll have a hard time eating them any other way 🙂
OMG Christin, these look so soft and delicious! Best dessert for breakfast idea ever! I bet that sour cream makes the texture absolutely perfect.
Sour cream does wonders for everything!
