Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local grocery stores or wholesale markets across the islands. Look for cocoa powder in the baking aisle and fresh bananas in the produce section. If you prefer, you can substitute margarine with unsalted butter for a richer flavor.
Preparation method
- Blend the flour, milk, egg, sugar, and cocoa powder in a blender until the batter is smooth and homogeneous.
- Heat a non-stick skillet lightly greased with a little oil over medium heat.
- Pour a shallow ladle of batter into the pan, swirl it to coat evenly, cook until golden, and flip to brown the other side.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
- Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat until the mixture begins to form a syrup.
- Add the bananas, sliced into large pieces, to the syrup, lower the heat, and let them caramelize gently.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder to prepare the chocolate topping.
- Simmer the chocolate sauce over low heat for about 8 minutes until it thickens.
- Arrange the caramelized bananas over each pancake, fold them, and place them on a serving platter.
- Drizzle the hot chocolate sauce over the pancakes before serving on individual plates.

The secret to perfection lies in ensuring the batter is silky smooth after blending and using a quality non-stick skillet. Drizzling an extra chocolate sauce on top provides that professional touch that makes every bite memorable.
