Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and instant coffee powder until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, indicating they are ready to flip. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
- Serve the mocha pancakes warm, topped with a drizzle of maple syrup and extra chocolate chips if desired.
Tips
- For an even deeper coffee flavor, consider substituting half of the milk with brewed coffee.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon to the dry ingredients for a warm spice that complements the chocolate and coffee.
- Top with whipped cream or a dollop of mascarpone for an extra indulgent touch.
