Decadent Buttermilk Chocolate Chip Pancakes with Berry and Nut Medley

Ingredients

- 2 cups King Arthur Buttermilk Pancake Mix
- 1 cup water
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)
- 1 cup chopped fruit (banana, apple, or pear)
- Zest of 1 citrus (lemon or orange)
- 1/4 cup candied nuts (almonds or pecans)
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- 2 tablespoons malt powder
- 2 tablespoons malted milk powder
- Maple syrup, to serve

Instructions

1. Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of King Arthur Buttermilk Pancake Mix, 1 cup of water, and 2 large eggs.
- Whisk until just combined, ensuring there are no large lumps.
- Gently fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, taking care not to overmix.

2. Add Flavor Elements:
- Incorporate the zest of 1 citrus into the batter for a fragrant note.
- In a separate small bowl, toss the mixed berries and chopped fruit together. Set aside for later use.

3. Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving space between each one.
- Cook pancakes for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and cover them with a towel to keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

4. Prepare Toppings:
- In a small saucepan over low heat, gently warm the maple syrup, adding 2 tablespoons each of malt powder and malted milk powder. Stir to combine and infuse flavor.
- Toss the prepared berry and fruit mix with 1/4 cup candied nuts.

5. Assembly:
- Stack pancakes on serving plates, layering with warm malted maple syrup.
- Top each serving with the berry, fruit, and nut medley.
