Sift together cocoa powder, gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients.

In a second bowl, mash a banana and mix it with a little honey.

Pour the banana and honey mixture back into the large bowl with the dry ingredients.

Add milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla to the large bowl.

Mix until the ingredients are smooth and blended.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and combine.

Fold in chocolate chips gently.

Heat a non-stick griddle and butter it generously.

Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle.

Cook until the center is bubbling, then flip and cook the other side.

Repeat the process with the remaining batter.

Serve hot with whipped cream and fresh berries.
