All-purpose flour, Sugar, Baking Soda, Baking Powder, Cocoa Powder, Milk, Egg, Melted Butter, and Vanilla Extract.
In a bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and cocoa powder.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the liquid ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir just until combined.
Preheat a griddle or nonstick pan to medium.
For every pancake, transfer ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle. If desired, you can incorporate chocolate chips into the batter.
Cook until the pancake's edges begin to set, and bubbles begin to form on the surface.
Remove the pancakes from the griddle, stack them on a platter, and drizzle them with chocolate syrup.
