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.

Yes please 🙂
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!
