Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the Pillsbury Chocolate Cake Mix, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt; stir until the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
  • Add the oil, milk, and eggs to the dry mixture. Stir gently until just combined—small lumps are okay; do not overmix.
  • Preheat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat the cooking surface with oil or nonstick spray.
  • Scoop or pour batter onto the hot griddle to form pancakes, leaving space between each pancake.
  • Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook the other side until cooked through.
  • Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
  • To serve, warm Pillsbury Frosting (optional) in a microwave-safe container for about 20–30 seconds, or until it reaches a syrup-like consistency, then drizzle over the pancakes.
  • Serve warm; store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
