In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine milk, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. The batter should be lumpy; do not overmix.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with vegetable oil.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear dry, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1-2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
For the chocolate spread, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until simmering, but not boiling.
Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Let sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth and fully combined.
Serve the pancakes warm with a generous spread of the chocolate mix on top. Enjoy!
