Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine milk, egg, oil, and vanilla extract.
Combine: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Cook Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease lightly with butter or oil. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until cooked through.
Serve: Stack pancakes on a plate, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and drizzle with chocolate syrup or add berries if desired.
