Ingredients
All-purpose flour – 1 ⅓ cups (185g)
Cocoa powder (Dutch-processed) – ¼ cup (25g)
Baking powder – 2 teaspoons
Salt – ¼ teaspoon
Eggs – 2 large
Granulated sugar – ⅓ cup (65g)
Whole milk – 1 cup (240 ml)
Vegetable oil or melted butter – 3 tablespoons
Pure vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
Chocolate chips – ½ cup (85g)
Bittersweet chocolate – 140g (5 oz.)
Heavy cream – ½ cup (120 ml)
Instructions
Whisk flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
In another bowl, whisk eggs and sugar, then stir in milk, oil, and vanilla.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined; do not overmix. Stir in chocolate chips.
Make the sauce by melting the bittersweet chocolate and heavy cream together until smooth.
Heat a griddle to medium heat and grease with butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles form, then flip.
Serve warm drizzled with the chocolate sauce.
Notes
• Use Dutch-processed cocoa for a darker color and smoother flavor.
• Do not overmix the batter; small lumps are perfectly fine for fluffy texture.
• Keep pancakes warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven while finishing the batch.
