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 (or dairy-free alternative)

1/4 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Optional toppings: whipped cream, fresh berries, maple syrup, or chocolate sauce

Instructions
 

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

    Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

      Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.

        Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.

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

            Cook Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until both sides are nicely browned.

              Repeat: Continue with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.

                Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with your choice of whipped cream, fresh berries, maple syrup, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
