• 1 ½ cups all‑purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk (dairy or plant‑based)
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Chocolate‑Peanut Butter Sauce

• ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
• ¼ cup semi‑sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Cooking the Pancakes

1. Heat the Griddle. Preheat a non‑stick skillet or griddle over medium heat (about 350°F). Lightly brush with melted butter or oil; you’ll know it’s ready when a few drops sizzle instantly.
2. Portion the Batter. Using a ¼‑cup ladle, pour batter onto the hot surface. Space each pancake about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
3. Watch for Bubbles. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, roughly 2‑3 minutes. This visual cue tells you the underside is golden brown and ready to flip.
4. Flip Carefully. Slide a thin spatula under the pancake and flip in one swift motion. Cook the second side for another 1‑2 minutes until fully set and slightly darker.
5. Keep Warm. Transfer finished pancakes to a warm oven (200°F) while you finish the batch. This prevents them from cooling and keeps the texture fluffy.
