BANANA SPLIT PANCAKES

Makes 5 servings

Caramel-Banana Topping (below)
2 cups Original Bisquick ®
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup chocolate-flavored syrup

Beat Bisquick, milk, chocolate syrup and egg in large bowl with wire whisk or hand beater until well blended (batter will be thin). Stir in chocolate chips. Pour a little less than 1/4 cup batter for each pancake into hot skillet (because chocolate chips will sink, scoop batter from bottom of bowl for a more even spacing of chips).
