Where to find ingredients
You can find flour, sugar, milk, and eggs at any local kiryana store or supermarket. For the cocoa powder and fresh bananas, visit your neighborhood vegetable market or the pantry section of a large grocery chain. Use high-quality butter for a richer flavor in the caramel sauce.
Preparation method
- Blend the flour, milk, egg, sugar, and cocoa powder in a blender until the batter is smooth and homogeneous.
- Heat a non-stick pan lightly greased with oil over medium heat.
- Pour a shallow ladle of batter into the pan, spread it evenly, wait for it to brown, and 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 medium heat until it begins to form a syrup.
- Add the large chunks of banana to the syrup, lower the heat, and allow them to 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 approximately 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 or serve individually on dessert plates.

The secret to achieving the best results is to ensure the batter is perfectly smooth when blended and to use a quality non-stick frying pan to prevent any sticking. Finishing the dish with an extra drizzle of chocolate sauce provides that professional touch that everyone loves.
