Ingredients
Scale
1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (30g) cocoa powder
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (180ml) milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for cooking)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup (45g) chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Combine Ingredients:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Fold in the chocolate chips if using.
Cook the Pancakes:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until cooked through.
Serve:
Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with whipped cream, syrup, or extra chocolate chips if desired. Enjoy while warm!
Notes
For an extra chocolatey taste, drizzle with chocolate sauce before serving.
These pancakes can be kept warm in a low oven (about 200°F/90°C) until ready to serve.
