Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips (divided)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or canola oil)[email protected]
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. - Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and oil until well combined. - Combine Wet and Dry:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy. - Add Chocolate Chips:
Gently fold in 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips, reserving the remaining 1/4 cup for topping. - Cook the Pancakes:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with oil or butter. Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. - Serve:
Stack the pancakes on a plate, sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top, and serve warm with syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For extra fluffiness, let the pancake batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
- Add nuts like walnuts or pecans for added texture if you like.
- You can use mini chocolate chips if preferred, as they’ll melt more evenly.
