Where to find ingredients
You can source your ingredients at local supermarkets and neighbourhood grocery stores. Look for fresh bananas in the produce aisle, and ensure you use high-quality cocoa powder from the baking section for a richer flavour.
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 frying pan lightly greased with oil over medium heat.
- Pour a shallow ladle of batter into the pan, swirl to coat, wait for the bottom to brown, then flip to cook the other side.
- Remove the pancakes from the pan and set them aside on a plate.
- Place the sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat until it starts to form a syrup.
- Add the bananas, cut into large chunks, into 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.
- Cook the chocolate sauce over low heat for approximately 8 minutes until it thickens.
- Distribute the caramelized bananas onto each pancake, fold them up, and arrange them on a serving platter.
- Drizzle the pancakes with the warm chocolate sauce or serve individually on dessert plates.
Observations
This sweet pancake recipe is a timeless favourite that delights the whole family. The chocolate batter is wonderfully light, pairing perfectly with the comforting, rich touch of carefully caramelized bananas. The secret to perfection lies in blending the batter until completely smooth and using a good non-stick pan to ensure they don't stick. Serving these with an extra drizzle of chocolate sauce adds that professional touch everyone loves.
