Where to find ingredients
You can find all these pantry staples at major local supermarkets. Look for high-quality cocoa powder and fresh bananas in the produce aisle. If you prefer a richer flavour, unsalted butter is an excellent substitute for margarine.
Preparation method
- Blend the flour, milk, egg, sugar, and cocoa powder in a blender until the batter is perfectly smooth
- Heat a non-stick frying pan lightly greased with a small amount of oil over medium heat
- Pour a shallow ladle of batter into the pan, spread it out, wait for it to brown, and then 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 heat until it begins to form a syrup
- Add the bananas, chopped into large pieces, to the syrup, lower the heat, and let them caramelise gently
- In a separate saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, milk, and cocoa powder to prepare the chocolate coating sauce
- Simmer the chocolate sauce over low heat for about 8 minutes until it thickens
- Distribute the caramelised bananas over each pancake, fold them, and arrange them on a serving platter
- Drizzle the pancakes with the warm chocolate sauce or serve on individual plates
Observations
This sweet pancake recipe is a firm favourite that delights the whole family. The chocolate batter remains light and airy, pairing beautifully with the comforting sweetness of perfectly caramelised bananas. The key to achieving the best results is to ensure the batter is perfectly smooth in the blender and to use a non-stick frying pan to prevent any sticking. Drizzling an extra chocolate sauce over the top adds that professional touch everyone loves.
