How to Make Chocolate Pancakes

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, water, oil, and vanilla extract.
  3. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
  6. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to appear on the surface.
  8. Because chocolate chips tend to sink, gently stir the batter every few pancakes to redistribute them evenly.
  9. Serve the warm pancakes immediately with your favorite berries and/or a dollop of yogurt.
