Gingerbread Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Gingerbread Chocolate Chip Pancakes

3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground dried ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup molasses
3 cups water
1/2 bag mini chocolate chips.

Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, and cinnamon in a bowl; set aside. Beat the eggs in a separate mixing bowl with the vanilla and molasses until smooth. Whisk in the water until completely incorporated. Stir the flour mixture into the molasses mixture until just combined -- a few lumps are okay. fold in the chocolate chips.
 Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle, and cook like regular pancakes..
