Chocolate Chip Pancakes with Cinnamon Butter

I really really need a new camera. My little point and shoot is just not doing it anymore. The flash is not working correctly anymore and I need better pictures of my food. Sorry for the crappy shots today.

These pancakes were more like dessert than breakfast. They were SO GOOD. Next time I will use less chocolate chips though. Still insanely good.

I topped them with Cinnamon Butter (recipe below) and Maple Syrup.
Enjoy!
