In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Grease with butter or cooking spray.
Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot skillet. Cook until the edges start to dry and the bottom is browned, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the other side is browned.
Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with desired toppings.
