Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly and set aside.

Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until smooth. Add milk, canola oil, and vanilla extract. Combine well.

Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined; fold in chocolate chips if desired. Let batter rest for 5 minutes.

Make Ganache: Combine chocolate and heavy cream in a heatproof bowl. Microwave in short bursts, stirring until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool.

Cook Pancakes: Preheat skillet over medium heat, grease lightly. Pour in batter, cook until bubbles form, about 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown.

Serve: Stack pancakes, drizzle with ganache, and top with berries or whipped cream. Serve immediately.
