Cocoa Pancake Batter Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the skillet, spacing each pancake about 2 inches apart.
5. Cook until the edges start to look set and the surface of the pancake is covered in bubbles, about 1-2 minutes.
6. Flip the pancake and cook until the other side is browned, about another 1-2 minutes.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.

Verdict:

These cocoa pancakes are a delicious and indulgent twist on the classic breakfast pancake. The combination of cocoa and vanilla creates a rich and chocolatey flavor that pairs perfectly with maple syrup and whipped cream.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as sliced strawberries, chopped nuts, or a dollop of whipped cream. For an extra decadent treat, drizzle with chocolate sauce. These pancakes are also delicious as a dessert or late-night snack.
