Chocolate Pancake Powder Mix

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.

If desired, stir in chocolate chips or any other mix-ins of your choice (such as chopped nuts or dried fruits).

Transfer the mixture to an airtight container for storage. This dry mix can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.

When ready to cook, mix 1 cup of the pancake powder with 1 cup of milk (or water) and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a little oil.

Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
