Description

These decadent Chocolate Chip Pancakes are the perfect breakfast treat, with rich cocoa flavor and melty chocolate chips in every bite. Soft and fluffy with a sweet chocolatey twist, they’ll make any morning extra special.


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.
