Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh produce like bananas and pantry staples such as flour, sugar, and cocoa powder at local markets (lumos) or neighborhood grocery stores. Use unsalted butter for better control over the flavor of your caramel.
Preparation method
- Blend the flour, milk, egg, sugar, and cocoa powder in a blender until you obtain a smooth batter.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan lightly greased with a little oil over medium heat.
- Pour a shallow ladle of batter into the pan, spread it well, wait for it to brown, and flip to brown the other side.
- Remove the pancakes from the pan and keep them aside on a plate.
- Bring the sugar and water to a boil in a saucepan until it starts to form a syrup.
- Add the bananas cut into large pieces to the syrup, lower the heat, and let them caramelize gently.
- In a separate saucepan, mix the butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder to create the topping sauce.
- Cook the chocolate sauce over low heat for about 8 minutes until it thickens.
- Distribute the caramelized bananas over each pancake, roll or fold them, and arrange them on a serving platter.
- Drizzle the hot chocolate sauce over the pancakes or serve on individual plates.
Observations

The key to success is ensuring the batter is completely smooth in the blender and using a non-stick pan to prevent sticking. Serving with an extra drizzle of chocolate sauce provides that professional touch that everyone loves.
