Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Add-ins
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution of flavors and proper rise of the pancakes.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk until smoothly incorporated to create a rich and creamy batter base.
- Create the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Stir gently with a spatula just until the flour is moistened—overmixing can make pancakes tough. Fold in the chocolate chips last for gooey pockets of melted chocolate.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a lightly greased griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then flip and cook the other side until golden and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Stack your pancakes high and serve immediately while still warm to enjoy the full gooey chocolate experience.
Notes
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Use medium heat to cook pancakes evenly and prevent burning.
- Choose fresh unsweetened cocoa powder for the richest flavor and color.
- Add chocolate chips last to avoid melting and discoloring the batter.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven if making large batches.
