Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk (whole or non-dairy)
- 1 large egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
- 2 tbsp melted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
- Add milk, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; lumps are okay.
- Preheat a lightly greased griddle over medium heat.
- Pour small rounds of batter onto the griddle. Use a spoon to elongate some batter to create ghost shapes while cooking.
- After bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), press mini chocolate chips into each pancake as ‘eyes.’
- Flip pancakes when golden brown and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Notes
- To add an autumn twist, substitute cocoa powder with pumpkin spice.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in a toaster or microwave.
