Instructions
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder with a fine mesh strainer, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together egg and sugar until well combined. Add milk, oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined and moistened. Mix in chocolate chips or chunks. Set batter aside and make the chocolate sauce.
- In a medium heatproof bowl, combine chocolate and heavy cream. Microwave in 20- to 30-second increments, mixing in between, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Set aside while making the pancakes.
- Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Coat with butter or oil. For each pancake, drop ¼ cup of batter onto skillet. Cook 1-2 minutes, until surface of pancakes have some bubbles. Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
- Serve immediately with chocolate sauce.
Notes
Microwave the sauce for a few seconds if needed before serving.
