Place the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
Add the water, melted vegan buttery spread, and mini chocolate chips. Stir well. Set aside so the batter rises.
Heat some vegan buttery spread in a frying pan over medium heat. Once it is sizzling, spoon some batter into the pan.
Watch the pancakes carefully - when the edges look done, gently flip them. It will take at least 3-4 minutes on each side. The pancakes should be golden brown.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 with remaining batter.
Serve with maple syrup, berries, or more chocolate chips.
