Double Chocolate Pancakes

These pancakes are decadent. This is a “special” morning breakfast for sure.  Probably not the healthiest way to start your day, but a wonderful treat indeed.  My kids said the pancakes could be dessert.  Maybe that’s because I always serve pancakes with whipped cream.  

Ingredients:

2 eggs

1 ¼ cups milk

3 tbsp. butter, melted

1 ½ cups flour

¼ cup cocoa

¾ tsp. salt

2 tsp. baking powder

3 tbsp. sugar

1 cup chocolate chips

Directions:

Whisk together flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Set aside. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and milk until light and foamy. Stir in melted butter. Add in flour mixture and mix until just blended. It will be lumpy…that’s O.K. Fold in chocolate chips.

Drop by 1/4 cupfuls onto a griddle heated to medium heat. Bake until bubbles start to form. Flip and cook another 1-2 minutes. Serve with butter and maple syrup. An extra sprinkle of chocolate chips is pretty good too…not that I would know anything about that.
