Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then mix in the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are fine.
If using chocolate chips, fold them gently into the batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a round shape if needed.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until evenly cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as necessary.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, whipped cream, fresh berries, or additional chocolate chips.
