Where to find ingredients
You can find all these pantry staples at local supermarkets like Countdown, New World, or Pak'nSave. Look for quality cocoa powder in the baking aisle and fresh, firm bananas in the produce section.
Preparation method
- Blend the flour, milk, egg, sugar and cocoa powder in a blender until you achieve a smooth batter.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan lightly greased with oil over medium heat.
- Pour a thin ladle of batter into the pan, spread it out evenly, wait for it to brown, and 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 heat until it begins to form a syrup.
- Add the bananas, cut into large pieces, to the syrup, lower the heat, and allow them to caramelise gently.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, milk and cocoa powder to create the topping sauce.
- Cook the chocolate sauce over low heat for approximately 8 minutes until it thickens.
- Arrange the caramelised bananas over each pancake, fold them, and place them on a serving platter.
- Drizzle the hot chocolate sauce over the pancakes or serve them on individual plates.

The secret to success lies in blending the batter until it is perfectly smooth and using a high-quality non-stick frying pan to prevent any sticking. Serving these with an extra drizzle of chocolate sauce adds that final chef-inspired touch that everyone adores.
