Units
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup melted chocolate or chocolate sauce (for topping)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add milk, oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease if needed.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until set.
- Stack pancakes on a plate and drizzle with melted chocolate or chocolate sauce.
- Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Use buttermilk instead of regular milk for extra fluffy pancakes with a slight tang.
- Do not overmix the batter—lumps are okay and ensure fluffiness.
- Use a ladle or measuring cup to pour evenly sized pancakes.
- Customize with add-ins like nuts or berries for extra flavor.
- For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder and bittersweet chocolate chips.
