Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• ½ cup chocolate spread (like Nutella)
• Maple syrup for drizzling
• Optional: whipped cream or fresh berries for topping

How to Make Stacked Pancakes with Chocolate Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
5. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
7. To assemble, place one pancake on a plate, spread a generous layer of chocolate spread on top, then stack another pancake on top. Repeat the layering process until you have a tall stack.
8. Drizzle with maple syrup and add optional toppings like whipped cream or fresh berries.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your baking powder is fresh for maximum fluffiness.
• Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes before cooking to enhance the pancake texture.
• Cook pancakes on medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring they cook through.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the chocolate spread with peanut butter or almond butter for a nutty twist.
• Add mini chocolate chips to the batter for extra chocolatey goodness.
• Top with sliced bananas or strawberries for added freshness.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory contrast.
• A side of fresh fruit salad to balance the sweetness.
• A dollop of Greek yogurt for creaminess.
