Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 large egg

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

2 tbsp melted butter (or coconut oil)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup chocolate chips (semisweet or dark)

Optional toppings: whipped cream, fresh berries, maple syrup, or additional chocolate chips

Instructions
 

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

    Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Then, add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay! Fold in the chocolate chips.

        Heat the Griddle: Preheat your skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.

          Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the opposite side until cooked through.

            Serve: Stack pancakes on a plate and serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as whipped cream, berries, maple syrup, or extra chocolate chips.
