Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups of flour
  • 3 heaping Tablespoons sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 Tablespoons baking powder
  • 2 eggs - beaten
  • 2 1/4 cups milk 
  • 3/4 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup cocoa
  • 1/4 cup cocoa
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips - extra for sprinkling on top
  • Whipped cream - for topping

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, break the eggs, and beat them with a whisk until they're light lemon yellow, and fluffy. Add the milk, and stir. Add the Oil, salt and sugar, and whisk together. 
  • Add the Flour and baking powder, and whisk together just until ingredients are mixed. (Batter may be a little lumpy, but that's okay)
  • Divide batter; you'll need two bowls; place an equal amount of batter in both bowls, and leave an equal amount of batter in the big bowl.
  • In the first bowl, add 1/2 cup of cocoa, and 1/3 cup of mini chocolate chips, blend well. In the second bowl, add 1/4 cup of cocoa, 1/3 cup of chocolate chips and blend well. Finally, in the third bowl (the one you mixed the batter in) add 1/3 cup of mini chocolate chips, but no cocoa.
  • Heat an electric griddle until better melts and sizzles. With the heat on a medium setting, drop the batter for the pancakes with either a ladle, or ice cream scoop, and cook until golden brown.
  • Flip the pancakes with a pancake turner, and remove to a plate to serve, starting with the dark batter, medium batter, and the natural color on top.
  • Drizzle with melted butter and syrup, and top with whipped cream, and sprinkle mini chocolate chips. continue until all pancakes are cooked.
  • Serve with extra butter, maple syrup and whipped cream.
