Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local markets (masoko) or supermarkets in towns like Arusha, Dar es Salaam, or Dodoma. Look for all-purpose wheat flour (unga wa ngano), fresh bananas, and quality chocolate powder in the baking aisles. Margarine or butter is readily available in the refrigerated dairy section.
Preparation method
- Blend the flour, milk, egg, sugar, and chocolate powder in a blender until the batter is completely smooth.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan greased with a little oil over medium heat.
- Pour a shallow ladleful 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 starts to form a syrup.
- Add the bananas cut into large chunks into the syrup, lower the heat, and let them caramelize gently.
- In another saucepan, mix the butter, sugar, milk, and chocolate powder to create the topping sauce.
- Cook the chocolate sauce over low heat for about 8 minutes until it thickens.
- Distribute the caramelized bananas over each pancake, roll or fold them, and arrange them on a serving platter.
- Drizzle the pancakes with the warm chocolate sauce and serve immediately on individual plates.
Observations
These sweet pancakes are a crowd-pleasing classic that brings joy to the whole family. The chocolate batter remains light and pairs beautifully with the comforting sweetness of caramelized bananas. The trick to getting it right is ensuring the batter is silky-smooth in the blender and using a high-quality non-stick pan to prevent sticking. Serving these with an extra drizzle of chocolate sauce adds that professional touch everyone loves.
