Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and oil (or melted butter) until smooth.
- Make batter: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Cook pancakes: Heat a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until cooked through.
- Serve: Stack pancakes on plates and serve warm with syrup, whipped cream, or extra chocolate chips if desired.
Notes
- Do not overmix the batter or pancakes may turn dense.
- For extra indulgence, drizzle with chocolate sauce or Nutella.
- Substitute milk with almond, oat, or soy milk for a dairy-free version.
- Pancakes can be frozen and reheated in a toaster or microwave.
