Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ cup cocoa powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 Tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- Chocolate chunks (for topping, amount as desired)
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until thoroughly combined to form a smooth liquid base.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and cocoa powder to ensure even distribution and no lumps. Then gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, folding gently until the batter is smooth with no visible pockets of flour or cocoa powder. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips evenly.
- Prepare Cooking Surface: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. To prevent sticking and add a subtle buttery flavor, lightly brush the pan with melted butter before cooking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until you see small bubbles forming on the surface and the edges begin to look set, approximately 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side until golden brown, about another 2 minutes.
- Repeat and Serve: Remove the cooked pancake and repeat the process with the remaining batter, brushing the pan with butter as needed. Serve the pancakes warm topped with chocolate chunks for extra gooey chocolate goodness. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Use a nonstick skillet and butter to prevent pancakes from sticking and ensure easy flipping.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy; mix just until combined.
- Chocolate chunks on top melt slightly and add texture; you can substitute with nuts or fresh berries if preferred.
- Adjust cooking heat as needed to avoid burning the pancakes.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use a suitable oil.
