Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.

Add 1/3 cup of the chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons of coconut oil to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 40-50 seconds. Mix until all the chocolate chips are melted. Set off to the side.
-
Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt together using a whisk in a large mixing bowl.
-
Whisk the buttermilk into the melted chocolate. Mix in the egg and vanilla.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Mix together. Fold in the chocolate chips and let the batter sit for at least five minutes before cooking.
-
Heat a bit of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium/high heat. Add about a 1/3 cup scoop of batter to the pan. When little bubbles start forming around the edges of the batter, about 1-2 minutes, flip the pancake and cook for an additional minute or two. Continue that process until all batter is used up.
-
Place the cooked pancakes on a baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven until all pancakes are cooked.
-
To make the red eye syrup, mix the coffee and maple syrup together in a small bowl. Serve poured over warm pancakes right away.
