In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Fold the chocolate chips into the batter, ensuring they're evenly distributed.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes carefully with a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes or until fully cooked through.
Remove cooked pancakes from the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream, syrup, fresh berries, or additional chocolate chips.
