Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup of milk (whole, 1%, 2%, skim, Almond, etc.) (237 mL) (can use 1 or 2 tbsp more for thinner batter)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (30 g) (oil can be used as well)
  • 1 cup all-purpose or plain flour (120 g)
  • 1/4 cup white granulated sugar (50 g)
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (35 g)
  • 1 tsp baking soda (5 g)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (if using salted butter reduce to 1/4 tsp) (3 g)

Toppings

  • Strawberries
  • Raspberries
  • Blueberries
  • Powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well combined.
  2. Sift and Combine Dry Ingredients: Using a sieve or sifter, sift the flour, salt, baking soda, and cocoa powder into the wet mixture. Gently fold or mix with a spatula or mixer, being careful not to overmix to maintain fluffy pancakes.
  3. Preheat Skillet or Griddle: Heat a skillet or griddle to 350°F (176°C) on medium heat. Test it with a drop of water; if it sizzles, the pan is ready.
  4. Prepare Cooking Surface: Lightly spray the hot skillet or griddle with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Use a half-cup measuring cup or ladle to pour batter onto the pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side until edges look dull and bubbles form on the surface.
  6. Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 1 to 1.5 minutes until fully cooked through and fluffy.
  7. Serve: Serve warm topped with fresh strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, powdered sugar, and optionally whipped cream. Enjoy your chocolate pancakes!

Notes

  • Use more milk (1-2 tbsp) if you prefer a thinner batter for lighter pancakes.
  • Do not overmix the batter; it helps to keep the pancakes fluffy.
  • If using salted butter, reduce salt in the batter to avoid over-salting.
  • Test your pan heat with water droplets to ensure proper cooking temperature.
  • Fresh berries and powdered sugar enhance the flavor and presentation.
