HOW TO MAKE:

2. Next, add the milk, oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract.
3. Pour this wet mixture into the dry ingredients of all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
4. Using a rubber spatula or whisk, mix everything just until all the ingredients are moistened. Make sure not to over-mix!
5. Fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
6. Using ¼ cup of batter for each pancake, cook them 1-2 minutes on each side until the surface has some bubbles and the bottom is golden brown.

CHOCOLATE GANACHE SAUCE:

To make the chocolate ganache sauce, in a medium heatproof bowl, combine the chocolate with the heavy cream. Heat in 20-second increments (mix in between each one) or with a double boiler. The sauce is ready when the chocolate is melted, and the mixture is smooth.
Serve the pancakes immediately with a generous helping of the ganache sauce. Enjoy!
