Instructions
-
Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the All Purpose Flour (Maida), Cocoa Powder, Caster Sugar, Baking Powder, Cooking Soda, and a pinch of Salt. Stir everything to ensure the dry ingredients are well-mixed.
-
-
Combine the Wet Ingredients: Add the Vanilla Extract, melted Butter (Salted), and Buttermilk to the dry ingredients. Stir gently to combine, ensuring that no lumps form. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick. If it appears too thick, you can add a little more milk to adjust the consistency.
-
Cook the Pancakes: Heat a cast iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of unsalted butter to the pan. Once the butter is melted, pour some pancake batter onto the skillet, spreading it slightly into a round shape. Cook until small bubbles appear on the surface, then flip the pancake and cook until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter as necessary.
-
Serve with Toppings: Once all the pancakes are cooked, stack them on a plate. Drizzle Chocolate Sauce generously over the top and garnish with sliced Ripe Bananas. The combination of rich chocolate and fresh banana creates the perfect contrast of flavors.
-
Optional Pairing: Serve your Chocolate Pancakes with Banana alongside a refreshing Papaya Banana Smoothie or a Carrot Cashew Smoothie for a filling breakfast. Alternatively, a cup of Espresso Coffee makes a perfect accompaniment to this indulgent meal.
These Chocolate Pancakes with Banana are not only a treat for the taste buds but also a great way to start the day with a boost of energy and flavor. Enjoy them for breakfast, or pack them for a tasty snack on the go!
