Cook time: 40 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 12 pancakes with sauce
Ingredients: 4 ripe, medium bananas sliced; 4 tablespoons butter; 4 tablespoons sugar; 1 cup (about 5 ounces) all purpose flour; 1 tablespoon baking powder; 2 tablespoons sugar; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 2 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder; 1 egg, lightly beaten; 1 cup milk; Butter, for griddle

Pan frying bananas in butter then roasting them with sugar makes them into a rich sauce for chocolate pancakes.

Note: The amount of butter you need to cook the pancakes depends on the size of your skillet. I use about 1 tablespoon for an 9-inch pan. You can increase the size of the pancakes, just adjust cook time accordingly.

For Bananas:

4 ripe, medium bananas sliced
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons sugar

For Pancakes:

1 cup (about 5 ounces) all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup milk
Butter, for griddle

Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Add one banana's worth of slices and fry until just golden. Transfer slices to a baking dish. Repeat with remaining bananas. Sprinkle fried bananas with 4 tablespoons sugar and bake until bubbling, 15 minutes. Clean skillet.
Meanwhile, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and cocoa powder in a medium bowl. Add egg and milk and whisk until batter is well combined.
When bananas are almost ready, heat 1 tablespoon butter on skillet until starting to foam. Add batter and cook pancakes until golden on bottom, about 3 minutes, flip with a spatula, and cook until just cooked through, about another 2 minutes more. Place pancakes on plates. Continue making pancakes with remaining batter. Top pancakes with roasted bananas and serve.
