Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Whipped cream, for topping
• Cocoa powder, for dusting

How to Make Fluffy Chocolate Pancakes

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
2. In another bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with oil or butter.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until cooked through and fluffy. Repeat with remaining batter.
7. Serve immediately, topped with whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your baking powder is fresh for maximum fluffiness.
• Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
• Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning while cooking the pancakes.
• Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while you finish cooking the rest.

Easy Variations

• Add chocolate chips to the batter for extra chocolatey goodness.
• Swap half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
• Experiment with flavored extracts, like almond or hazelnut, for a unique twist.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh berries for a pop of color and flavor.
• Maple syrup or chocolate sauce for drizzling.
• Sliced bananas to add natural sweetness and creaminess.
• A dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
