Instead of buying a premix pancake mixture, I measure and mix the dry ingredients myself—flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt and baking soda—and store them in an airtight container, so it is ready to be used at any time.
On days when I feel like having chocolate pancakes, all I need to do is get this DIY pancake mixture out of the refrigerator and add in the wet ingredients which are the egg, milk and oil.

If you are a chocolate lover, you can even add dark chocolate chips into the batter.
