Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local supermarkets like Woolworths or Coles. For the chocolate powder, choose a high-quality cocoa powder or Dutch-processed cocoa found in the baking aisle. Use ripe bananas, preferably Cavendish, from the fresh produce section for the best caramelisation results.
Preparation method
- Blend the flour, milk, egg, sugar, and chocolate powder in a blender until the batter is perfectly smooth.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease with a little oil.
- Pour a shallow ladle of batter into the pan, spread it out, wait for it to brown, and then flip to cook the other side.
- Remove the pancakes from the pan and set aside on a plate.
- In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water over heat until it begins to form a syrup.
- Add the roughly chopped bananas to the syrup, reduce the heat, and allow them to caramelise gently.
- In a separate saucepan, mix the butter, sugar, milk, and chocolate powder to prepare the chocolate topping.
- Simmer the chocolate sauce over low heat for approximately 8 minutes until it thickens.
- Spoon the caramelised bananas onto each pancake, fold them, and arrange them on a serving platter.
- Drizzle the pancakes with the hot chocolate sauce or serve individually on dessert plates.
Observations
This sweet pancake recipe is a crowd-pleaser that the whole family will love. The chocolate batter is light and fluffy, perfectly complementing the comforting sweetness of the caramelised bananas. The key to success is ensuring the batter is silky smooth in the blender and using a good quality non-stick frying pan to prevent any sticking. For that extra chef-worthy touch, drizzling with an additional warm chocolate sauce before serving is highly recommended.
