Instructions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, crack open the egg and add salt and sugar according to your taste. Mix them gently.
Next, pour in the warm milk and vegetable oil. Combine all ingredients until smooth.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Make sure to mix the cocoa powder well with the flour to prevent lumps.
Step 3
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet batter, stirring continuously until fully combined and smooth.
If you wish to make more pancakes, simply multiply all ingredient amounts by 2 or 3.
Step 4
Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown. Enjoy your delicious cocoa pancakes!
Servings
These delicious pancakes can be served in more ways than one! 🥞✨ Picture this: a stack of fluffy hot cocoa pancakes drizzled with warm maple syrup, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, and some chocolate chips on top. Add a dollop of whipped cream for a splurge, or indulge with a few fresh berries for a pop of color and flavor! 🍓❤️
And hey, why not serve them at a cozy breakfast gathering? Invite your friends over, make a festive table setting, and let everyone customize their pancakes with toppings like crushed nuts, sliced bananas, or even a scoop of ice cream! 🍦✨ It’s all about spreading joy and warmth during this winter season!

Variations
If you’re looking for something special, try these amazing variations! 🌱 For a gluten-free option, simply swap the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Just be sure it contains xanthan gum for texture! 🎉
For a vegan twist, replace the egg with a mashed banana or a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water). Also, use almond milk instead of dairy milk and a vegan oil for cooking. 🌻 It’s a delicious way to enjoy the flavors without the animal products!
Faq
- Can I make these pancakes ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the batter in advance and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good whisk before cooking.
- What if my batter is too thick?
If your batter seems too thick, add a little extra milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency. You want it to be pourable but not too runny!
- Can I use cocoa powder instead of melted chocolate for flavor?
Yes, cocoa powder is perfect for these pancakes and will give them that delicious chocolatey taste you’re looking for!
- What if I want to double the recipe?
Doubling the ingredients is simple! Just make sure to use a larger mixing bowl and pan to accommodate all those pancakes!
- Can I add other flavors to the pancakes?
Definitely! Feel free to add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the batter for extra warmth and flavor. You can also mix in some chocolate chips for a gooey surprise!
- How do I store leftover pancakes?
You can store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat them in a skillet or microwave before serving!
