Steps:
- Mix together the sifted flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, eggs and vanilla.
- Add the wet ingredients to the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Don't overmix.
- Add the mini chocolate chips, if using, and stir gently to incorporate them.
- Heat a griddle or large saute pan over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray and pour about 1/4 cup of the batter at a time. You'll be able to get 4-5 on a two-burner griddle and 3 in a large skillet at a time.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, until the edges are cooked through and the middle of each pancake is bubbling. (If your stove cooks unevenly, you may want to turn your pan during the cooking time.)
- Carefully flip each pancake (it will release from the pan easily if it's ready to flip) and cook an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, until cooked through.
- Remove cooked pancakes to a plate or place in the oven to keep warm while you repeat. Note: I spray the pan/griddle with cooking spray in between each batch. I also find I need to reduce the heat a little as I continue to cook the pancakes so as not to burn them.
- Serve with strawberries, mini chocolate chips, maple syrup or powdered sugar, as desired. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Infuse the milk tea cream: Add heavy cream and black tea bag to a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until the cream just barely begins to simmer, about 5 minutes. Transfer the infused cream and tea bag to a medium heatproof bowl, let cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Make the boba with brown sugar syrup: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Shake off any excess flour from the boba pearls, then add to the boiling water. Stir to separate the pearls, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, until cooked through. Drain the boba and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Transfer to a medium heatproof bowl.
- Meanwhile, make the brown sugar syrup: Add the muscovado sugar and water to a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the sugar dissolves and the syrup thickens slightly, 5-7 minutes. Pour the syrup over the boba and stir to coat. Let sit for about 1 hour.
- Make the pancakes: Add the milk, 4 tablespoons of butter, and the black tea bags to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Do not let it come to a boil. Remove the pot from the heat and remove the tea bags, gently squeezing out any excess liquid. Transfer the tea milk to a medium heat-proof bowl and let cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- In a medium bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the cooled tea milk, vanilla, and egg yolk.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold with a rubber spatula until just combined. Add the egg white and fold until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 15-30 minutes, until thickened.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Once the butter begins to bubble, add about ¼ cup of the batter to the pan. Cook for about 4 minutes, until bubbles start to appear on the surface. Flip the pancake over and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed. You should have about 8 pancakes.
- Make milk tea cream: Remove the tea bag from the chilled infused cream. Pour ½ cup of the cream into a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add the mascarpone and powdered sugar. Whip on medium speed until the mixture just barely starts to thicken, about 1 minute. It should still be a little runny.
- When ready to serve, set 1 pancake on a plate and top with about 1 tablespoon of the boba pearls and syrup. Repeat to stack 3 more pancakes on top. Pour half of the milk tea cream over the top and garnish with 2 tablespoons of boba pearls. Repeat to make a second serving.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choosing the Right Dark Chocolate: Opt for dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% to ensure a rich and intense chocolate flavor.
- Measuring Dry Ingredients: Use a kitchen scale to accurately measure dry ingredients like flour, sugar, and baking powder. This ensures consistent results and prevents the batter from becoming too dense or too thin.
- Mixing the Batter: Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can result in tough pancakes.
- Cooking Temperature: Cook the pancakes over medium heat to prevent them from burning. The ideal temperature is around 375°F (190°C).
- Flipping the Pancakes: Wait until bubbles form around the edges of the pancakes before flipping them. This ensures that they are cooked through on the bottom and less likely to break apart when flipped.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings such as butter, maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
These healthy dark chocolate pancakes are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. Made with whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, and dark chocolate chips, they are packed with fiber, antioxidants, and essential minerals.
