fluffy chocolate pancakes

Delight in these fluffy chocolate pancakes, a perfect blend of rich cocoa and airy batter that makes for a delicious breakfast or dessert treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then mix in milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix. Fold in chocolate chips if using.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until cooked through and fluffy.
  7. Serve warm with your favorite toppings like syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

Notes

For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. Adding a pinch of cinnamon enhances the chocolate flavor.
