Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Pancakes {freezer-friendly!}

Looking for an amazing and healthful pancake recipe? This is one of our family’s favorite recipes and it’s freezer-friendly, too!

I’m a total pancake aficionado! And when I can find a really healthful recipe that still tastes amazing — it’s a HUGE win in my book!

Why we love these Healthy Chocolate Chip Pancakes

This Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Pancake recipe is a family favorite that we’ve used countless times over the years.

If you add chocolate chips to this batter, you don’t even need to use syrup… but it’s totally fine if you still want to smother them in syrup and lots of butter.

It’s like a little piece of heaven on a plate!

AND, they freeze wonderfully — so feel free to make a double batch and save yourself a little work later on.

Ingredients for Chocolate Chip Pancakes

• 2 cups whole-wheat flour
• 2 Tablespoons sugar (I used coconut sugar because that’s all I had!)
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 beaten eggs
• 2 cups milk, buttermilk or sour milk*
• 4 Tablespoons melted butter (you can also use oil or coconut oil, but we prefer butter)
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips

How to Make Chocolate Chip Pancakes

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl.

2. In a smaller bowl, combine eggs, milk, and melted butter

3. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add egg mixture and chocolate chips.

4. Stir until just moistened.

5. Cook on a greased pancake griddle. Serve immediately or cool and freeze.

Makes around 10 regular-sized pancakes. I usually double or quadruple the recipe when I make it for the freezer.

How to freeze chocolate chip pancakes:

Lay cooked and cooled pancakes on a baking sheet and stick in the freezer for 30 minutes to an hour (until frozen).

Remove from frozen pancakes from pan and place them in airtight freezer bags or containers.

To thaw: Take desired number of pancakes out of freezer bags and heat one to two at a time in the microwave for one to two minutes. Or, place on a baking sheet and cook in a 350-degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes until heated through. Serve immediately.
