A delightful twist on traditional pancakes, these baked chocolate chip pancake squares are easy to make and perfect for sharing.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve even baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, milk, eggs, and oil. Stir until just combined; the batter will be slightly lumpy.
Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light and fluffy.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently.
Reserve a few chocolate chips to sprinkle on top for a decorative touch.
Pour the batter into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Use a spatula to ensure the batter is evenly distributed.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Keep an eye on the baking time as ovens may vary.
Let the pancake cool slightly, then cut into squares and serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Serve with a drizzle of syrup or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
