Ingredients

Scale

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

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
