Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional)
• 0 Non-stick cooking spray or additional butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are fine.

Step 4

If desired, gently fold in the mini chocolate chips for extra bursts of chocolate flavor.

Step 5

If making pancakes, heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until cooked through.

Step 6

If making waffles, preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray or melted butter. Pour the batter into the waffle iron (adjust the amount based on your iron's capacity) and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until crispy and cooked through.

Step 7

Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, fresh berries, syrup, or additional mini chocolate chips.
