Chocolate Pancakes
- Sift together the flours, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk to combine, then set aside.

- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk just until there are no more streaks of dry ingredients. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the melted butter and fold until combined.
- Lightly grease the heated skillet(s). Pour batter onto the skillet (¼ or ½ cup portions). Cook 2- 3 minutes, then flip and cook another 2- 3 minutes.
- Place finished pancakes on a cooling rack and continue until all the batter has been used.
Chocolate Sauce
- In a small saucepan, add the sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- Gradually stir in the water. Stir until smooth. Cook over medium heat and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the temperature to low and continue to cook, stirring constantly, for another 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla. Use while warm.
