Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup of milk whole, 1%, 2%, skim, Almond, etc.(237mL) (can use 1 or 2 Tbsp. more for thinner batter)
- 2 Tbsp of unsalted butter melted (oil can be used as well) (30g)
- 1 cup of all-purpose or plain flour 120g
- 1/4 cup of white granulated sugar 50g
- 1/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder 35g
- 1 tsp. baking soda 5g
- 1/2 tsp. salt if using salted butter reduce to 1/4 tsp. (3g)
Toppings
- Strawberries
- Raspberries
- Powdered sugar
- Blueberries
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix together the egg, milk, softened butter, and granulated sugar. Use a whisk or mixer.
- Using a sieve or sifter, sift the flour, salt, baking soda, and cocoa powder into the large bowl with the batter. Mix those together with a spatula or mixer. Don't overmix with the mixer it could cause the pancakes to be less fluffy.
- Heat a skillet or griddle to 350 F/176 C. Normally medium heat on a stovetop. Wait until the pan or griddle heats up completely. Test it with a drop of water, if it sizzles that means it is hot enough and ready to go.
- Spray the pan or griddle with cooking spray. Then scoop out some batter with a measuring cup or ladle onto the hot pan. I typically will use my half-cup measuring cup.
- Allow this side of the chocolate pancake to cook for about 2 to 3 minutes. Once the edges start to get dull and some tiny bubbles form on the top of the pancake you can flip it over. This side will take a little less time, only about 1 to 1.5 minutes.
- Once the chocolate pancakes are done, you can serve them with fruit like strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and powdered sugar, whipped cream, etc. Enjoy!
