Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup whole milk (or non-dairy substitute)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter (cooled)
- 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, mix milk, egg, and melted butter. Gradually combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed; do not overmix.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Heat Your Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Test readiness by sprinkling water; if it sizzles, it’s ready.
- Cook Your Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top (2-3 minutes), then flip and cook until golden brown (about 1 minute more).
- Serve Warm: Stack pancakes on plates and keep warm in a low oven while cooking remaining batter. Serve with maple syrup or fresh fruit.
