Do you ever have those morning where you wake up and think to yourself “What am I going to make for breakfast this morning?”
Even though it’s summer time my husband and I really don’t have a lot of time to spend with the kids in the mornings so when the weekend rolls around I always try and make something special and quite yummy. Pancakes are one of the many favorites in our house and I love making Buttermilk Pancakes.
Except that when I woke up I remembered oh yea that buttermilk is going to be used for a different recipe. Of course I didn’t feel like running to the store to buy some so I made an alternative… these Chocolate Chip Sour Cream Pancakes.
You may remember when I shared a recipe for Sour Cream Pancakes a while back– well now picture those pancakes with Chocolate Chips!
Jackpot!!!!
I used Gaby’s recipe, (What’s Gaby Cooking) for Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Pancakes and they were a hit.
I think there a few things you could add to pancakes or petty much anything that would make me a happy camper– and chocolate chips are on the top of the list.
Just in case you decide to go on a pancake making frenzy, here are some more awesome Pancake Recipes:

Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 2 eggs
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour

- Repeat this process for the remaining batter, spraying new non-stick spray before each pancake. Serve immediately.
