Where to find ingredients
You can find all-purpose flour, sugar, eggs, and fresh bananas at local markets or supermarkets like Chipiku or Shoprite. Chocolate powder can be found in the baking or beverage aisles of larger grocery stores. Use margarine as a common substitute for butter if preferred.
Preparation method
- Blend the flour, milk, egg, sugar, and chocolate powder in a blender until the batter is smooth.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan greased with a little oil over medium heat.
- Pour a shallow ladle of batter, spread it well, wait for it to brown, then flip to brown the other side.
- Remove the pancakes from the pan and set aside on a plate.
- Place the sugar and water in a saucepan over heat until it begins 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 chocolate powder to prepare the topping sauce.
- Cook the chocolate sauce over low heat for about 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 hot chocolate sauce or serve individually on plates.
