- 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.
