Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (30 grams) cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- ¾ cup (180 milliliters) milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins:
- ¼ cup (45 grams) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Sift the cocoa-infused dry components into a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring an even distribution of flour, cocoa powder, granulated sweetener, leavening agent, and seasoning salt.
- Crack the egg into a separate container, whisking vigorously before introducing dairy liquid, liquefied butter, and aromatic vanilla essence. Blend until the mixture achieves a harmonious consistency.
- Delicately integrate the liquid mixture into the powdery foundation, employing gentle circular motions to prevent overworking the batter. If desired, gently incorporate miniature chocolate morsels for enhanced richness.
- Warm a non-stick cooking surface over moderate heat, lightly coating with a thin layer of fat to prevent adhesion. Ladle approximately a quarter cup of batter for each pancake, allowing it to spread naturally.
- Monitor the pancake’s surface for telltale bubbling and firming edges, which typically occurs within two to three minutes. Execute a precise flip, revealing a golden-brown landscape, and continue cooking for an additional one to two minutes.
- Transfer the decadent chocolate discs to a serving plate, creating an inviting stack. Embellish with cloud-like whipped cream, luxurious chocolate drizzle, vibrant fresh berries, or a delicate dusting of powdered sugar. For ultimate indulgence, complement with warm maple syrup or scattered chocolate chips.
Notes
- Swap cocoa powder for carob powder to create a lower-fat, caffeine-free alternative for health-conscious eaters.
- Use gluten-free flour blend to make these pancakes suitable for those with wheat sensitivities or celiac disease.
- Reduce sugar content by replacing half the sugar with mashed banana or applesauce for a naturally sweetened version.
- For dairy-free options, substitute milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk and use coconut oil instead of butter.
