Steps
Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, granulated sugar, baking powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Finally, fold in the chocolate chips.
Frying
Heat 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Using a tablespoon, drop small dollops of batter into the hot oil, forming the balls. Fry them on both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Add more oil to the pan if needed.
Serving
Remove the cooked pancake balls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately, dusted with powdered sugar, or with fresh fruit and maple syrup to taste.
Extra Tips
► Don't overcook the balls to keep them soft and moist inside.
► Experiment with different toppings like fresh fruits, maple syrup, or whipped cream.
► You can prepare the batter in advance and store it in the fridge, so you only need to fry them in the morning.
