Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large bowl, combine pancake mix, baking powder, water (or milk), and egg. Mix until smooth but do not overmix.

Fold in half of the mini chocolate chips.

Lightly spray 24 mini muffin cavities with cooking spray.

Fill each cavity about 3/4 full with batter.

Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.

Bake for 8–10 minutes or until the centers are set and lightly golden.

Let cool slightly, then serve warm with pancake syrup.

These Mini Chocolate Chip Pancake Bites come out fluffy, tender, and perfectly portioned every time.
