Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at any local supermarket, such as SM Supermarket or Robinsons Supermarket. Look for baking ingredients like cocoa powder and all-purpose flour in the baking aisle, and fresh bananas in the produce section.
Preparation method
- Combine the flour, milk, egg, sugar, and cocoa powder in a blender and process until the batter is smooth.
- 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 evenly, wait until golden, then flip to cook the other side.
- Remove the pancakes from the pan and set aside on a plate.
- In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water over heat until it begins to form a syrup.
- Add the roughly chopped bananas to the syrup, reduce heat, and let them caramelize gently.
- In a separate saucepan, whisk together the butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder to create the topping sauce.
- Simmer the chocolate sauce over low heat for about 8 minutes until it thickens.
- Arrange the caramelized bananas over each pancake, fold them, and place them on a serving platter.
- Drizzle the hot chocolate sauce over the pancakes or serve on individual plates.
