Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
- Cooking spray or additional butter (for greasing the skillet)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy. If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spreading slightly with the back of a spoon if needed.
Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until cooked through and fluffy.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary between batches.
Serve the chocolate pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as syrup, whipped cream, fresh fruit, or additional chocolate chips.
