Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Pancakes

I made these pancakes for supper the other night to distract myself from the cheese cravings. The recipe says it makes 5 pancakes, but I only got three out of it. I guess my pancakes are thicker or something?

It's a good and easy recipe. However, I would likely omit the chocolate chips or replace with something else. While I like chocolate, I also like pure maple syrup...and the chocolate chips seemed to overpower the maple-y goodness that should come with all pancakes.
