Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1 cup buttermilk (or milk mixed with 1 tablespoon vinegar)
1 large egg
2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate chips (for folding in and topping)
Whipped cream
Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
Maple syrup or chocolate sauce
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients: buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well until fully combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
Once the skillet is hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface.
Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the other side is golden brown.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with an extra sprinkle of chocolate chips on top, a dollop of whipped cream, and a drizzle of maple syrup or chocolate sauce.
