Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1 large egg

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted butter)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Butter or oil for cooking

Powdered sugar and whipped cream for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This will ensure there are no lumps and that every ingredient is evenly distributed.

    Mix the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

      Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—it's okay if there are a few small lumps.

        Fold in Chocolate Chips: If desired, fold in the chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey treat.

          Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

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

              Serve: Stack pancakes on a plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar, and add a dollop of whipped cream if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your amazing chocolate pancakes!
