Where to find ingredients
You can source these ingredients at local island markets or general grocery stores. Look for fresh produce in the fruit section and pantry staples in the dry goods aisles. If you cannot find chocolate powder, cocoa powder can be used as a substitute, though it will result in a slightly more intense chocolate flavor.
Preparation method
- Blend the flour, milk, egg, sugar, and chocolate powder in a blender until you have a smooth, homogeneous batter
- Heat a non-stick frying pan lightly brushed with oil over medium heat
- Pour a shallow ladle of batter into the pan, spread evenly, cook until golden, then flip to brown the other side
- Remove the finished pancakes from the pan and set them aside on a plate
- Place the sugar and water into a saucepan over heat until it begins to form a syrup
- Add the large-cut banana pieces into the syrup, lower the heat, and gently caramelize them
- In a separate saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, milk, and chocolate powder to prepare the topping glaze
- Cook the chocolate sauce over low heat for approximately 8 minutes until it thickens
- 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 plates
