What You Will Need to Make Chocolate Pancakes

These pancakes are made entirely with pantry items. See the step-by-step recipe below with all the tips you need to make fluffy chocolate pancakes.

• Flour: Plain all-purpose flour works best for these pancakes.
• Butter or oil: Butter gives a fluffy and moist texture to the pancakes.
• Baking powder: Baking powder is a leavening agent that increases the volume and lightens the texture of the pancakes.
• Salt: Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.
• Sweetener: You can use maple syrup, granulated sugar, or calorie-free sweetener to sweeten pancake batter.
• Cocoa powder: Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor.
• Salt: You will find a small amount of salt in most pancake recipes.
• Egg: You will need one or more eggs, depending on the number of pancakes you make.
• Vanilla extract: Vanilla adds sweetness and flavor.
• Chocolate sauce: Undoubtedly, the best topping for pancakes is chocolate sauce or melted chocolate with berries and fresh fruits.
  

Pro Tips to Make Chocolate Pancakes

• If the pancake batter is runny, add a spoon or a little more flour and stir well.
• If the pancakes were cooled before serving, you can reheat them in the oven at 350F for 5 minutes.

How to Make Chocolate Pancakes?

• In a large bowl whisk all dry ingredients together (flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, sugar, and salt).
• In another bowl crack the egg. Whisk egg with a fork until consistency is even. Then add the milk and room temperature melted butter or oil, and mix well. Add vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.

• Cook each pancake until you see bubbles on the surface and the edges look golden brown and dry. Then stack them on a plate.
• Top with melted chocolate or chocolate sauce and berries.
