Where to find ingredients
You can find all-purpose flour, dairy, and fresh produce at local markets or neighborhood grocery stores (kirana stores). Use high-quality cocoa or drinking chocolate powder available at supermarkets. Salted or unsalted butter works well for the caramelization process.
Preparation method
- Blend the flour, milk, egg, sugar, and chocolate powder in a blender until the batter is completely smooth.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan lightly brushed with oil over medium heat.
- Pour a shallow ladle of batter into the pan, swirl to coat, cook until golden, and flip to brown the other side.
- Remove the pancakes from the pan and set them aside on a plate.
- In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat until it begins to form a syrup.
- Add the roughly chopped bananas to the syrup, reduce the heat, and allow them to caramelize gently.
- In a separate saucepan, whisk together the butter, sugar, milk, and chocolate powder for the topping.
- Simmer the chocolate sauce over low heat for about 8 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
- Distribute the caramelized bananas over each pancake, fold them, and arrange on a serving platter.
- Drizzle the pancakes with the warm chocolate sauce or serve individually on dessert plates.

The chocolate-infused batter is remarkably light and pairs beautifully with the comforting, sweet notes of carefully caramelized bananas. The secret to achieving the perfect texture lies in ensuring the batter is ultra-smooth after blending and using a quality non-stick pan to ensure effortless cooking. Drizzling with an extra helping of chocolate sauce adds a professional culinary touch that everyone will adore.
