Decadent Cocoa Pancakes

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully blended.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.

Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown, about another 2 minutes.

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
