Instructions
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.
Notes
For extra decadence, try adding a scoop of ice cream on top of your pancakes!
