Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local markets or general supermarkets in Papua New Guinea. Look for fresh bananas in the produce section and staples like flour, sugar, and chocolate powder in the baking aisle.
Preparation method
- Combine the flour, milk, egg, sugar, and chocolate powder in a blender and process until the batter is perfectly smooth.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a little oil.
- Pour a shallow ladle of batter, spread evenly, wait for it to brown, then flip to cook the other side.
- Remove the finished pancakes from the pan and set them aside on a plate.
- Place the sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until it begins to form a syrup.
- Add the bananas, sliced into large pieces, into the syrup, reduce the heat, and let them caramelize gently.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, milk, and chocolate powder to prepare the topping sauce.
- Cook the chocolate sauce over low heat for approximately 8 minutes until it thickens.
- Arrange the caramelized banana portions over each pancake, fold them, and place them on a serving platter.
- Drizzle the warm chocolate sauce over the pancakes or serve them individually on plates.

Serving with an additional drizzle of chocolate sauce provides that final chef's touch that everyone loves.
