Preparation Steps

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined. This dry mix sets the foundation for your delicious pancakes.
• In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter together until well blended. This liquid mix adds moisture and richness to the batter.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
• Gently fold in the chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed.
• Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
• Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like syrup, whipped cream, or fresh berries.
