Brownie Batter Pancakes: A Chocolatey Twist on Breakfast!

When you wake up in the morning, nothing quite beats the aroma of pancakes sizzling on the griddle. But what if I told you there’s a way to combine the classic goodness of pancakes with the indulgence of brownie batter? Enter Brownie Batter Pancakes! They’re fluffy, chocolaty, and oh-so-delicious – a true breakfast game changer.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk or regular milk with a splash of vinegar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips for that extra brownie vibe

Instructions
 

  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  • Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.
  • Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – it’s okay if a few lumps remain! Fold in the chocolate chips for that decadent brownie flavor.
  • Preheat Griddle or Pan: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly with cooking spray or a bit of butter.
  • Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve Warm: Serve your pancakes warm with toppings of your choice.
