Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and granulated sugar until frothy. Then mix in whole milk, canola oil, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently and fold in chocolate chips.
Chop bittersweet or semisweet chocolate and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat cream until simmering, pour over chocolate, stir until smooth.
Preheat skillet over medium heat. Grease with butter or oil, and pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes.
Serve pancakes with warm ganache drizzled on top. Enjoy your delightful breakfast!
