Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local supermarkets such as FairPrice, Cold Storage, or Sheng Siong. Look for 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 pulse until you have a smooth, homogeneous batter.
- Heat a lightly oiled non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Pour a shallow ladle of batter into the pan, swirl to coat evenly, wait for it to brown, then flip to cook the other side.
- Remove the pancakes from the pan and set aside on a plate.
- In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat until it begins to form a syrup.
- Add the bananas, chopped into large chunks, into the syrup, reduce the heat, and let them caramelize gently.
- In a separate small pot, whisk together 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.
- Spoon the caramelized bananas over each pancake, fold them, and arrange them on a serving platter.
- Drizzle the pancakes with the warm chocolate sauce and serve immediately on individual plates.

Finishing with an extra drizzle of chocolate sauce gives it that professional touch every dessert lover craves.
