Method
 

Mix Dry Ingredients
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cane sugar.
Mix Wet Ingredients
  1. In another bowl, whisk the kefir, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
Combine Batter
  1. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir lightly until just combined. A few lumps are okay—do not overmix.
Add Chocolate Chips
  1. Fold in mini chocolate chips gently so they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat Pan
  1. Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
Cook Pancakes
  1. Pour batter onto the skillet (about ¼ cup per pancake). Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.
Flip Pancakes
  1. Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown, about 2–3 more minutes. Total cooking time is around 5 minutes per batch.
Serve Warm
  1. Stack pancakes and serve immediately with your favorite toppings—maple syrup, fresh fruit, honey, nut butter, or a light kefir drizzle.
