Chocolate Banana Pancakes

Prepare the pancake batter In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Prepare the wet ingredients In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and mashed banana.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.

Heat the skillet Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to prevent sticking.

Cook the pancakes Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the pancake batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.

Repeat the process Repeat with the remaining batter.

Serve and enjoy Serve the pancakes topped with sliced bananas, chocolate chips, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
