Method
Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cane sugar.
Mix Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk the kefir, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
Combine Batter
- 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
- Fold in mini chocolate chips gently so they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat Pan
- Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
Cook Pancakes
- 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
- 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
- Stack pancakes and serve immediately with your favorite toppings—maple syrup, fresh fruit, honey, nut butter, or a light kefir drizzle.
Notes
- Soft, fluffy, and slightly tangy thanks to kefir.
- Perfect for cozy mornings, quick breakfasts, or weekend brunch.
- Easy to make and fun to customize.
