These chocolate pancakes are a breakfast game-changer, blending rich cocoa flavor with a surprising twist that elevates every bite. In just 20 minutes, you can whip up a stack that feels indulgent yet wholesome, perfect for lazy mornings or weekend brunches.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 100 g
- ¼ cup cocoa powder 22 g
- ¼ cup + 1 tsp granulated sugar 66 g
- 2 teaspoons baking powder 9 g
- ⅔ cup milk 160 ml, at room temperature
- 1 large egg at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons olive oil 30 ml
- ¼ cup unsalted butter 60g, to butter cooking
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar and baking powder then mix to blend.
- In a separate bowl, mix the milk, egg, vanilla and olive oil then pour it over the flour mixture. Use a fork or a wooden spoon to mix but just until incorporated, few lumps are ok.
- Place a flat pan over medium heat and melt ½ tsp of butter. Use a clean paper towel to clean any excess butter, this step is important because access butter will make it hard to flip the pancakes.
- Pour 1/4 -1/3 cup (60-80 ml) of batter in the pan and reduce heat to medium-low, this amount is for a medium pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the sides of the pancakes appear mate and you notice some bubbles on top. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional minute.
- Serve immediately best drizzled with chocolate syrup and fresh berries.
