Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local markets and grocery stores in Freetown. Look for fresh bananas in the produce section and pantry basics like flour, sugar, and milk in the dry goods or refrigerated aisles. Chocolate powder is widely available in the breakfast or baking sections of local supermarkets.
Preparation method
- Blend the flour, milk, egg, sugar, and chocolate powder in a blender until the batter is smooth and homogeneous.
- Heat a non-stick skillet lightly greased with oil over medium heat.
- Pour a shallow ladle of batter into the pan, spread it evenly, wait for it to brown, then flip to cook the other side.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
- Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan over heat until a syrup begins to form.
- Add the roughly chopped bananas to the syrup, lower the heat, and let them caramelize gently.
- In a separate small pot, mix the butter, sugar, milk, and chocolate powder to prepare the topping sauce.
- Simmer the chocolate sauce over low heat for about 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 warm chocolate sauce or serve individually on dessert plates.
Observations
This sweet pancake recipe is a classic crowd-pleaser for the whole family. The chocolate batter is light and pairs beautifully with the comforting sweetness of perfectly caramelized bananas. The secret to success lies in blending the batter until completely smooth and using a non-stick frying pan to prevent any sticking. Finishing with an extra drizzle of chocolate sauce adds that chef-like touch everyone will love.
