Place the pancakes or waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in a preheated warm oven (200°F) for up to 15 or 20 minutes.

Fold ¼ cup mini semisweet chocolate chips into batter. (Lightly coat the waffle baker with nonstick cooking spray between each waffle to prevent sticking.)
