In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help achieve a smoother batter.
Add the almond milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to meld.
This step helps the batter thicken slightly for better cooking.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it.
Ensure the skillet is evenly heated to prevent uneven cooking.
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet and sprinkle with chocolate chips.
Use a consistent amount of batter for evenly sized pancakes.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes.
Flip the pancakes gently to maintain their shape.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup or fresh fruit.
Warm toppings like syrup enhance the flavor of the pancakes.
