Baked Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Over the years, we've received many letters asking about pancakes. It seems the most common question is how to make enough for the whole family without feeling like you've become a short-order cook. Well, hang up those aprons, 'cause with this recipe we can just mix up one big pancake that we pop into the oven. Now we can all sit down and dig in at the same time!

Serves: 6

Cooking Time: 20 min

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups pancake and waffle mix
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 eggs
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat two 12-inch pizza pans with cooking spray.
    
2. In a large bowl, whisk all ingredients except chocolate chips until smooth. Divide batter equally into pizza pans. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the batter.
    
3. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until pancake is lightly browned on top. Cut into wedges and serve.
    

Notes

If you don't have two pizza pans, you can use a 10- x 15-inch rimmed cookie sheet instead. Besides just topping the pancake wedges with butter and syrup, top them with your favorite flavor pie filling. That makes them really fun and fruity!
