These pancakes are a decadent twist on the breakfast classic, with cocoa richness and a soft, tangy crumb. The dry mix includes all-purpose flour, baking cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, creating a balanced base with lift and flavor.

The wet ingredients—buttermilk, a room-temperature egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract—blend into a smooth batter that cooks into fluffy, chocolate-kissed pancakes. Serve with maple syrup for warmth or chocolate syrup for indulgence.

Perfect for weekend brunches, dessert-for-breakfast moments, or layering with fruit and whipped cream.
