Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup chocolate chips
- vegetable oil or additional butter for cooking
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold the chocolate chips into the batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil or a little butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the heated skillet. Spread gently with the back of the ladle if needed.
Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fully cooked through and fluffy.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruits, or whipped cream.
