  • ½ c. cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp. sugar
  • 1 tbsp. baking powder

  • ½ c. butter, melted
  • 2 eggs

How to Make Chocolate Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and baking powder.

Pro Tips For Making This Recipe

  4. Stir in chocolate chips or a pinch of espresso powder for extra flavor.
  5. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
