Chocolate Pancakes

Published 8 months ago • 1 min read

ngredients (makes about 8-10 standard-sized muffins)

Dry Ingredients:

· All-purpose flour: 150g · Unsweetened cocoa powder: 30g · Granulated sugar: 120g (adjust to taste) · Baking powder: 1.5 teaspoons (about 7g) · Baking soda: 1/4 teaspoon (about 1g) · Salt: 1/4 teaspoon

Wet Ingredients:

· Unsalted butter: 80g (melted and cooled to room temperature) · 2 eggs (room temperature) · Milk: 160ml (room temperature) · Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon

Other Ingredients:

· Oven-proof chocolate chips: 80g (optional, but highly recommended)

Instructions

Step 1: Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C/390°F.
  2. Line a muffin pan with paper cups or lightly butter the inside of the pan to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

  1. In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Use a whisk to mix thoroughly, ensuring all the ingredients are incorporated and there are no lumps. This step is key to fluffy muffins.

Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients

  1. In a separate bowl, combine the beaten eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract and gently beat until combined.

Step 4: Mix the Batter (Critical Step!)

  1. Pour all the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients all at once.
  2. Using a rubber spatula, stir from the bottom up until just combined and the dry ingredients are just beginning to disappear. The batter should be rough and slightly grainy. Do not overmix! This is the most important secret to fluffy muffins; overmixing will develop gluten, making the muffins tough.

Step 5: Add the chocolate chips

  1. Pour most of the chocolate chips into the batter and gently stir to distribute them evenly.

Step 6: Cast and Bake

  1. Use a spoon or ice cream scoop to divide the batter between the muffin pans, filling each pan about 2/3 full.
  2. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top for decoration.
  3. Immediately bake in the middle of the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes.
  4. Insert a toothpick into the center of the muffin. If a few moist crumbs come out (but no wet batter), they are done.

Step 7: Cool

  1. Remove the pan from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
