Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk (any kind)

1 large egg

2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for extra chocolatey goodness)

Whipped cream and fresh berries for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold to combine, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy. If using chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.

        Preheat Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.

          Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until cooked through and slightly firm to the touch.

            Keep Warm: Transfer pancakes to a warm plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel while you cook the remaining batter.

              Serve: Serve the pancakes warm, topped with whipped cream and fresh berries, or your favorite syrup. Enjoy your amazing chocolate pancakes!
