Ingredients:

1 ¼ cups (180 g) low FODMAP, gluten-free all-purpose flour, such as Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour
1/3 cup (28 g) sifted Dutch-processed cocoa or Black Cocoa
1/3 cup (66 g) sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder; use gluten-free if following a gluten-free diet
½ teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups (315 ml) lactose-free milk, whole or 2%, at room temperature
4 tablespoons (57 g) unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon instant espresso powder, optional

Preparation:

Place flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl and whisk to aerate and combine. Make a well in the center.
Whisk together milk, butter, eggs, vanilla, and espresso powder, if using, in a separate bowl.
Pour wet mix over the dry and whisk together until smooth and well combined.
Heat electric griddle, heavy sauté pan or nonstick pan. Coat with nonstick spray and heat until a few drops of water dance. Dole out about 3 tablespoon amounts of batter at a time (we use an ice cream scoop) and cook over medium heat until bubbles begin to appear here and there, about 1 minute or so. Usually I tell you to check the bottoms for a golden brown color, but these pancakes are super dark, so you have to use other cues. You can gently lift one and check; the bottom should be dry. Flip over and cook for about 1 minute more or until that side is cooked through as well. Serve hot with real maple syrup – or lactose-free ice cream and Salted Caramel Sauce, if you dare.

Notes:

Tips

The black cocoa really enhances these pancakes. Use it if you can.
