In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
To the bowl add the buttermilk, melted butter, and 2 beaten eggs. Mix gently until there are no dry spots, but do not overmix. Lumps are fine. Set aside for 20-30 minutes for the batter to rest.
Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter.
Heat a griddle or nonstick pan over low heat. Add a touch (1 teaspoon) of vegetable oil, then ladle the pancake batter into pan. Cook pancakes for 2-4 minutes on the first side or until bubbles start to rise. Flip and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes or until lightly brown. Repeat until all pancakes are finished. Place cooked pancakes in the oven to keep warm, while finishing all batches.
Serve with more chocolate chips, butter, and maple syrup. Enjoy!
Notes
Wait at least 20 minutes before making batter to start cooking the pancakes.
Recipe makes eight 6-8" round pancakes.
Keep pan heat low. This will help avoid burning the pancakes, but allow the inside to cook.
Use whichever chocolate chips or chunks you like. We used a combination of dark and semi-sweet chips.
