Ingredients
  

  • 1⅜ cups all-purpose flour spooned and leveled for accurate measuring
  • ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder natural cocoa for deep flavor
  • ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon granulated sugar white sugar for balanced sweetness
  • 2¼ teaspoons baking powder fresh for proper lift
  • 1 teaspoon salt fine sea salt preferred
  • ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons whole milk room temperature for smooth batter
  • 2 large eggs brought to room temperature
  • 4½ tablespoons unsalted butter melted slightly cooled before mixing
  • 2¼ teaspoons vanilla extract pure extract for best aroma
  • ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips good-quality chips hold their shape
Chocolate Sauce:
  • ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips finely chopped for quick melting
  • ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream full-fat for silky texture

Method
 

  1. Combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and whisk until evenly blended.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth, then pour into the dry ingredients and gently fold until mostly combined.
  3. Sprinkle in the chocolate chips and give the batter a few final stirs, leaving small lumps intact, then allow it to rest briefly.
  4. Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with butter once hot.
  5. Scoop about ¼ cup of batter per pancake into the skillet and cook until bubbles appear and edges look set, about 3 minutes.
  6. Flip carefully and cook the second side until the pancakes are cooked through and lightly browned, 1–2 minutes more, then transfer to a warm plate.
  7. Warm the cream in a small saucepan just until steam rises, remove from heat, add the chocolate chips, and stir until glossy and smooth.
  8. Drizzle the warm chocolate sauce generously over the pancakes before serving.
