Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups milk (whole, 2%, or non-dairy)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup chocolate chips (semisweet or milk)
  • Optional: fresh banana slices for ears
  • Optional: whipped cream or yogurt for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Let the melted butter cool slightly before adding.
  3. Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; some small lumps are fine. Let batter rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat (about 350°F). Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. For each bear, pour about ¼ cup batter for the face and two 1-tablespoon portions above for ears. Space ears so they just touch the head.
  6. Scatter chocolate chips onto the main pancake for eyes and nose before the surface sets.
  7. Cook until bubbles form and edges look set (2-3 minutes). Flip gently and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Transfer finished pancakes to a cooling rack or plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
  9. Arrange pancakes on plates. Add banana slices for ears if desired. Serve with whipped cream or yogurt and maple syrup. Dust with powdered sugar and add berries for garnish.

Notes

Let batter rest for 5 minutes for extra fluffiness. Use a measuring cup for the face and a small spoon for the ears. For gluten-free, use a 1:1 blend with xanthan gum. For dairy-free, substitute milk and butter with plant-based options. Keep finished pancakes warm in a low oven if making a large batch.
