Perfect for brunch, dessert, or a special breakfast treat, these Chocolate Pancakes are sure to become a family favorite. Let’s dive into this delightful recipe that promises to satisfy your sweet tooth!

Ingredients

For the Pancakes

  • 1¼ cups all-purpose flour (150 grams)
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (21 grams)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (50 grams)
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder (6 grams)
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup milk (227 grams)
  • 2 large eggs (100 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (25 grams)
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract (2 grams)
  • ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips (85 grams)

For the Chocolate Sauce

  • 1¼ cups semisweet chocolate chips (213 grams, plus more for topping)
  • ½ cup heavy cream (114 grams)

Instructions

Making the Pancakes

  1. Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed.

  2. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  3. Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix—it’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

  4. Cook Pancakes: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with nonstick spray. Pour the batter into the skillet using a ¼-cup measuring cup. Cook for about 1 minute on each side, or until each side is golden brown. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Making the Chocolate Sauce

  1. Melt Chocolate: Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted.

  2. Mix with Cream: Pour the heavy cream into the melted chocolate and whisk until the mixture is silky and smooth.

Serve

  1. Garnish and Serve: Serve the warm pancakes drizzled with chocolate sauce and a sprinkle of additional chocolate chips for an extra indulgent touch.

Becky’s Tips

  • No Over-Mixing: To achieve fluffiness, mix the batter just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Over-mixing can result in dense pancakes.
  • Prep Ahead: The pancake batter can be prepared the night before and stored in the refrigerator, covered.
  • Temperature Control: Adjust the skillet temperature as needed. If it’s too hot, the pancakes will burn; too low and they will spread excessively.

Storage
