Decadent Chocolate Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 eggs
• 3.5 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps

1. Whisk cocoa powder and sugar together in a bowl until well combined. Add flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; continue whisking until evenly mixed. Make a well in the center of the bowl.
2. Whisk buttermilk, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl. Pour into center of the well of the cocoa mixture; mix until just blended.
3. Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium heat. Drop 1/4 cup batter onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
