Ingredients
  

For the Pancakes:

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk (preferably at room temperature)

1 large egg

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

For the Filling:

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional: a sprinkle of cocoa powder or chocolate sprinkles for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pancake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until fully blended. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring lightly until just combined (do not overmix). Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.

    Cook the Mini Pancakes: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or brush it with melted butter. For each pancake, pour approximately 2 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until small bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges appear set. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter.

      Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined and light. Taste the filling and adjust the sweetness, if desired.

        Assemble the Pancake Sandwiches: Take one mini pancake and spread a generous dollop of the cream cheese filling on top. Layer another mini pancake on top to create a delightful sandwich. Continue this layering process with the remaining pancakes and filling.

          Serve and Garnish: Arrange the pancake sandwiches on a decorative serving platter. For an added touch of flair, dust the tops with cocoa powder or sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles. Serve these delicious treats warm and savor the incredible combination of fluffy pancakes and creamy filling!
