Chocolate Pancakes
Warm, fluffy chocolate pancakes drizzled with a velvety chocolate sauce, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
For the Pancakes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
For the Drizzle
- Chocolate drizzle For serving
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Cooking
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until they're puffed and cooked through. Look for a lightly browned surface.
- Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter, keeping finished pancakes warm in a low oven if desired.
- Drizzle with chocolate sauce just before serving.
Notes
For best results, do not overmix the batter. Keep pancakes warm in the oven if making a large batch. Adjust sweetness to taste.
