To prevent salmonella or other harmful bacteria, cook the raw flour before making the streusel.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a small baking pan with parchment paper. Sprinkle the 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon of flour onto the baking sheet. Bake flour for 5 minutes. Then remove and cool the flour. 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
For the pancakes:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside. 3 teaspoons baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt
In another larger bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, oil and sugar. 1 1/4 cups 2% milk, 1 large egg, 3 tablespoons canola oil, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix gently just until combined. Do not over mix. Gently fold in the chocolate chips. 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Let the batter rest for 15 minutes. This will result in a fluffier, tender pancake.
Lightly grease a skillet with cooking spray, butter, or oil. My favorite choice is melted butter. Heat over medium low heat.
Ladle about 1/3 cup of the pancake batter onto the preheated skillet. Allow the pancake to cook until it is bubbly on top, then turn and finish by cooking on the other side until the pancake is cooked through.
Make the streusel:
Combine the flour, sugar, softened butter, peanut butter and chocolate chips in a small bowl until crumbly. 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup salted butter, 3 tablespoons peanut butter, 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Top the pancakes with butter, streusel and your favorite maple syrup or whipped cream.

Notes
I prefer semi-sweet, but you can use milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips, or any combination you'd like.
Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract if you'd like a little extra flavor.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
