Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup milk (or non-dairy substitute)

1/4 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)

Optional toppings: whipped cream, chocolate syrup, fresh berries

Instructions
 

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

    Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil, and egg. Add in the vanilla extract and stir until the mixture is smooth.

      Combine Both Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay.

        Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

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

            Cook the Pancakes: For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to look set (approximately 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until browned and cooked through.

              Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm with your choice of whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or fresh berries.
