Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1.25 cups buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoons orange zest
• 3 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles
• 0.25 cup mini chocolate chips
• 1 as needed cooking oil or butter (for greasing)
• 1 as desired whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
• 1 as desired maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and orange zest. Whisk until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently mixing until just combined. Do not overmix—it's okay if the batter has a few lumps.

Step 4

Fold in the rainbow sprinkles and mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 5

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking oil or butter.

Step 6

Scoop 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm with optional toppings like whipped cream, maple syrup, or additional sprinkles for an extra burst of fun.
