Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 8 pancakes

Ingredients

  • 1⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp butter melted
  • 3/4 cups buttermilk if needed you can replace with milk
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup chocolate chips you can leave these out, or use twice as much, your choice!

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl mix together all dry ingredients. Then add wet ingredients and stir just until combined. The batter is thick and lumpy. Fold in chocolate chips. Let batter sit for 3-5 minutes.
  • Heat griddle over medium heat and grease lightly with butter or oil.
  • Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of pancake batter into the griddle. Mixture may be thick, and if so use spoon to help spread the batter out a bit in the pan. Cook until pancakes have bubbles on the top, then flip and cook an additional 30-60 seconds. Repeat with the remaining pancake batter.
  • Serve immediately, topped with powdered sugar, chocolate sauce, butter, syrup or fresh fruit.

Notes

* A triggered ice cream scoop is perfect for scooping your batter. 
*Whole wheat pastry flour can be substituted for the all-purpose flour.
