Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 3 heaping Tablespoons sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons baking powder
- 2 eggs – beaten
- 2 1/4 cups milk
- 3/4 cup oil
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- 1/4 cup cocoa
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- extra mini chocolate chips for sprinkling on top
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- In a large bowl, break the eggs, and beat them with a whisk until they’re light lemon yellow, and fluffy. Add the milk, and stir. Add the oil, salt, and sugar, and whisk together.
- Add the flour and baking powder, and whisk together just until ingredients are mixed. (Batter may be a little lumpy, but that’s okay)
- Divide batter; you’ll need two bowls; place an equal amount of batter in both bowls, and leave an equal amount of batter in the big bowl.
- In the first bowl, add 1/2 cup of cocoa, and 1/3 cup of mini chocolate chips, blend well. In the second bowl, add 1/4 cup of cocoa, 1/3 cup of chocolate chips and blend well. Finally, in the third bowl (the one you mixed the batter in) add 1/3 cup of mini chocolate chips, but no cocoa.
- Heat an electric griddle until batter melts and sizzles. With the heat on a medium setting, drop the batter for the pancakes with either a ladle or ice cream scoop, and cook until golden brown.
- Flip the pancakes with a pancake turner, and remove to a plate to serve, starting with the dark batter, medium batter, and the natural color on top.
- Drizzle with melted butter and syrup, and top with whipped cream, and sprinkle mini chocolate chips. Continue until all pancakes are cooked.
- Serve with extra butter, maple syrup, and whipped cream.
Notes
- For best results, let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking.
- Adjust the amount of cocoa for desired chocolate intensity.
