Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tbsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)

1 large egg

1 cup milk (or almond milk for a non-dairy option)

1/4 cup melted butter (or coconut oil for a dairy-free option)

1 tsp vanilla extract

Powdered sugar for serving (optional)

Fresh berries for serving (optional)

Maple syrup for serving

Instructions
 

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

    Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.

          Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a bit of butter.

            Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.

              Serve: Stack the pancakes on plates, sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired, top with fresh berries and extra chocolate chips, and drizzle with maple syrup.

                Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy your deliciously indulgent chocolate pancakes!
