Ingredients You’ll Need

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)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Making the Pancakes

1. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This ensures your dry ingredients are evenly distributed for a consistent batter.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined. The vanilla adds a touch of fragrant sweetness that complements the cocoa beautifully.

3. Create the Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, mix until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; the batter should be slightly lumpy. Gently fold in the chocolate chips to distribute them throughout the batter.

4. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease with nonstick spray. Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook each side for about 1 minute, or until browned. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Preparing the Chocolate Sauce

5. Melt the Chocolate: Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted.

6. Whisk in the Cream: Slowly pour the heavy cream into the melted chocolate, whisking continuously until the mixture is silky and smooth. This sauce is the perfect finishing touch for your pancakes.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your pancakes warm, drizzled generously with the chocolate sauce. For an extra touch of indulgence, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top. Pair with a fresh fruit salad or a dollop of whipped cream for a complete breakfast experience.

Pro Tips for Perfect Pancakes

• Avoid Over-Mixing: To keep your pancakes fluffy, stop mixing as soon as the dry ingredients are incorporated. Over-mixing can lead to tough pancakes.
• Prepare Ahead: You can prepare the pancake batter the night before. Store it covered in the refrigerator for a quick breakfast option.
• Temperature Control: Adjust the skillet’s temperature as needed. If it’s too hot, the pancakes will burn; too low, and they won’t set properly.

Storing Your Pancakes

If you have leftovers (though we doubt you will!), store your chocolate pancakes in an airtight container. They can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Simply reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
