Neapolitan Pancakes

• 2 cups of pancake mix (I used Bisquick)
• 1 cup of milk
• 1 egg
• 1 vanilla bean
• Strawberries, diced into small pieces
• Milk chocolate chips

Combine the pancake mix, milk, and egg together in a bowl. 

Slice the vanilla bean down the center then using the dull side of the knife, scrape all the seeds out of each side of the bean. Add the seeds to the pancake batter.

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto a hot nonstick griddle or skillet. Top each pancake with pieces of strawberry and chocolate chips.

Cook 2 minutes or until the tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked. Carefully turn pancakes over; cook 2 more minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. 

Served slathered in butter and topped with maple syrup. Enjoy.
