In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl or a large measuring cup, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk, egg, vanilla extract, and chosen sweetener (stevia or erythritol) until well combined.
Melt 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and add it to the wet ingredients, reserving the remaining tablespoon for cooking.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush it lightly with some of the reserved coconut oil.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake and cook for about 2-3 minutes, until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancakes over and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until they are cooked through and lightly browned on the other side.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh berries, sugar-free syrup, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
