Where to find ingredients
You can find all-purpose flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and dairy products at local neighbourhood markets or major supermarket chains in the baking and dairy aisles. Fresh bananas are widely available at local produce markets or street-side fruit stalls.
Preparation method
- Blend the flour, milk, egg, sugar, and cocoa powder in a blender until the batter is smooth.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan lightly brushed with oil over medium heat.
- Pour a small ladle of batter, spread it evenly, wait until golden, and flip to cook 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 chunks, to the syrup, reduce 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 about 8 minutes until it thickens.
- Distribute the caramelized bananas over each pancake, fold them, and arrange them on a serving platter.
- Drizzle the pancakes with the hot chocolate sauce and serve immediately.
Observations
This sweet pancake recipe is a family favourite that hits the spot every time. The chocolate batter is light and pairs beautifully with the comforting sweetness of perfectly caramelized bananas. The secret to achieving the perfect texture is blending the batter until completely smooth and using a good non-stick frying pan. Drizzling an extra chocolate sauce on top gives it that professional finish everyone loves.
