Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-Ins

  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well mixed to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents and chocolate flavor.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg with milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth, creating a liquid mixture that adds moisture and richness for tender pancakes.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter fluffy; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, spreading melty pockets of chocolate evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Cook Your Pancakes: Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake and cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.

Notes

  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Use room-temperature eggs and milk for better batter consistency.
  • Don’t Overmix: Stir batter just enough to combine to retain fluffiness.
  • Proper Heat: Cook pancakes over medium heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking.
  • Rest the Batter: Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to fully activate the baking powder.
  • Use Good Quality Cocoa: A high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder significantly improves flavor depth.
