These delicious chocolate pancakes are easy to make and perfect for a delightful breakfast or a healthy treat. Follow these simple steps for fluffy pancakes every time!
In a roomy bowl, gently whisk together your flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt until they're well mixed. Pop this aside for a moment.
In another separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until they're nicely combined.
Pour your wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Whisk just until everything is combined – a few lumps are perfectly normal and actually keep your pancakes fluffy, so don't overdo it!
Let the batter rest for a few minutes while you get your skillet or griddle nice and warm.
Lightly spray a large nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray. Heat it over medium-low heat to about 300°F.
Once hot, pour about ⅓ cup of batter for each pancake, gently spreading it out to a nice 4 to 5-inch circle.
Cook them in batches, giving each pancake enough space. Let them sizzle for 3-4 minutes until you see lovely bubbles forming and popping on the surface.
Now, carefully flip them over and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they're golden brown and cooked all the way through.
Wipe your skillet clean with a paper towel between batches to ensure perfect, non-stick pancakes every time.
Serve these warm, fluffy pancakes right away with your favorite healthy toppings, like fresh berries or a drizzle of pure maple syrup!
