Where to find ingredients
Find standard pantry staples like cake wheat flour, sugar, and cocoa powder in any local supermarket's baking aisle. Fresh bananas are available in the produce section. Use a good quality salted or unsalted butter for the sauce; margarine is a common local alternative for a creamier, softer finish.
Preparation method
- Blend the flour, milk, egg, sugar and cocoa powder until the batter is perfectly smooth.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease with a dash of oil.
- Pour a shallow ladle of batter into the pan, swirl to coat, cook until golden, then flip to cook the other side.
- Remove the pancakes from the pan and set aside on a plate.
- Place the sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat until it forms a syrup.
- Add the roughly chopped bananas to the syrup, reduce to low heat and allow to caramelise gently.
- In a separate saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, milk and cocoa powder to prepare the chocolate sauce.
- Cook the chocolate sauce over low heat for approximately 8 minutes until it thickens.
- Spoon the caramelised bananas onto each pancake, fold them up and arrange on a serving platter.
- Drizzle the pancakes with the warm chocolate sauce or serve individually on dessert plates.

The cocoa-infused batter achieves a perfect, light texture, which pairs beautifully with the comforting, sweet notes of carefully caramelised bananas.

Drizzling with an extra helping of chocolate sauce provides that final chef-level flourish that everyone adores.
