Red Velvet Pancakes with Chocolate Chips

Valentine’s Day is tomorrow. I hate going out on holiday’s it seems such a rip off. Instead we like to celebrate on a different day and make the holiday special by doing something at home. This year my hubby is getting these yummy Red Velvet Pancakes.  I might even make them in heart shapes. They are so light and fluffy! I really enjoyed this recipe, when I tested it I only made half of the recipe which was more than plenty making 6 large pancakes.
