In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Pour 1/4 cup portions of the pancake batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Once the pancakes are done, stack them on a plate. If desired, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top while they're still warm.
Serve your Chocolate Chip Delight Pancakes with whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
