Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until creamy.
  3. Gradually add the milk, oil, and vanilla extract, stirring until combined.
  4. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just mixed, leaving some lumps, then fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. For the ganache, combine chopped chocolate and heavy cream in a heatproof bowl.
  6. Microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth, or melt over a double boiler.
  7. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease with butter or oil.
