Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
1 ¼ cups milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
Mini marshmallows, chocolate sauce, and whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and baking powder until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then mix in milk and melted butter until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Heat a nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until set and golden.
- Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and mini marshmallows for a true hot chocolate experience.
Notes
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking for extra fluffy pancakes.
Swap cocoa powder for 3–4 tablespoons of hot chocolate mix for a sweeter flavor.
Add mini chocolate chips or peppermint extract for festive variations.
Use almond milk and plant-based butter for a dairy-free version.
Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven until ready to serve.
