Chocolate Chocolate Pancakes (gluten-free)

I made some super tasty chocolate pancakes while my parents were in town recently.  They were stellar!  Here's the recipe for your culinary pleasure.

Ingredients
4 tablespoons melted butter
2 large eggs
2 cups milk (any kind, I used half almond milk, half coconut milk)
1 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla extract
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 cups King Arthur Gluten-Free Multi-Purpose Flour
1/3 to 1/2 cup cocoa (dark or regular)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 Ghirardelli chocolate chips (optional)

Melt butter in microwave and let cool a bit.  Wisk in eggs, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla.  In a separate bown combine flour, cocoa, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum.  Fold dry ingredients into wet ones. Allow the batter to rest at room temperature for 10- 15 minutes before making pancakes. Add chocolate chips if desired.

Eat.
