Introduction

Indulge in these rich, fluffy Chocolate Pancakes topped with fresh strawberries and drizzled with warm maple syrup. This decadent breakfast treat is perfect for chocolate lovers who want to enjoy a sweet and satisfying start to the day!

Ingredients:

For the chocolate pancakes:

• 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup (25g) cocoa powder
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup (240ml) milk
• 2 tablespoons melted butter (or vegetable oil)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Fresh strawberries, for topping
• Maple syrup, for drizzling

Directions:

To make the chocolate pancakes:

1. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
3. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter—some lumps are okay.
4. Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.

To serve:

1. Stack and top: Stack the chocolate pancakes on a plate and top with fresh strawberries.
2. Drizzle with syrup: Generously drizzle warm maple syrup over the pancakes for a sweet finishing touch.
3. Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, chocolatey goodness!

Tips:

You can substitute the fresh strawberries with other fruits like bananas or raspberries for variety.

For an extra chocolatey treat, fold in some chocolate chips into the batter.
