Ingredients
Scale
Main Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Wet Ingredients and Add-ins:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Blend dry ingredients in a spacious mixing bowl, combining cocoa-infused flour with granulated sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until uniformly integrated.
- Gently warm milk in a saucepan, incorporating chocolate chips until they melt smoothly, creating a rich chocolate-infused liquid base.
- Whisk together the chocolate-warmed milk with room-temperature eggs, fragrant vanilla extract, and neutral cooking oil until the mixture achieves a consistent texture.
- Gradually fold wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring carefully to prevent overmixing. Gently incorporate remaining chocolate chips throughout the batter.
- Preheat griddle to medium-high heat (around 375°F). Ladle batter onto the hot surface, allowing pancakes to develop small surface bubbles.
- When edges appear slightly dry and bubbles across the surface begin to pop, carefully flip each pancake. Cook an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown underneath.
- Transfer finished pancakes to a warm plate, stacking and serving immediately to preserve optimal temperature and texture.
Notes
- Customize chip size by chopping larger chocolate pieces for more even distribution throughout pancakes.
- Opt for Dutch-processed cocoa for richer, deeper chocolate flavor and smoother texture.
- Enhance batter’s richness by substituting half the oil with melted butter for better taste and golden-brown edges.
- Accommodate gluten-free diets by replacing wheat flour with almond or gluten-free blend, ensuring same fluffy texture.
