Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 ¾ cups milk (can use regular or chocolate milk)
  • ¼ cup melted butter (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Gently fold in the chocolate chips. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes.
  5. Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
  6. Pour approximately ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed. Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit!
