Easy Fluffy Chocolate Pancakes with Homemade Raspberry Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 cups Bisquick baking mix
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup chocolate milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- Homemade Raspberry Sauce, for serving
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together the Bisquick baking mix, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, chocolate milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are perfectly fine for fluffy pancakes.
-
Heat a non-stick pan or electric griddle to approximately 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat the cooking surface with a small amount of vegetable oil or butter. Once the oil is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter for each pancake onto the griddle.
-
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until you see bubbles forming on the top surface and the edges appear slightly dry. Carefully flip the pancakes and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through.
-
To serve, arrange the warm chocolate pancakes on a plate. Optionally, drizzle with a little chocolate syrup, then generously top with your homemade raspberry sauce. For an extra touch of sweetness and visual appeal, dust lightly with powdered sugar before serving immediately.
