Metric
Imperial
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups flour
- 1 ½ tbsp pure maple syrup (preferably amber syrup for its rich taste)
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup dark chocolate chunks
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ripe medium bananas, mashed
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 15g butter
- Pinch of salt
Suggested toppings:
- Sliced bananas
- Pure maple syrup
- Chocolate chunks
- Hazelnuts, chopped
Method
- Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Add the milk, eggs, maple syrup and vanilla extract to a separate bowl and whisk.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring as you go.
- Then fold the mashed banana into your batter, adding a couple tablespoons at a time.
- Once combined, then fold in the chocolate chunks.
- Add about a tsp of butter to a large non-stick frying pan, over medium heat. Ensure the butter is bubbling before you add your pancake batter to the pan.
- Add about 2 tbsp of batter to the pan per pancake. You should be able to cook batches of 2-3 pancakes at a time.
- Cook until bubbles start to appear on top of your pancakes, then flip and cook for about 2 minutes. Keep and eye on your pancakes whilst they’re cooking, ensure the heat isn’t to high as the chocolate may burn.
- Once cooked, remove from the heat and repeat until you’ve used up all your batter.
- Finally, top with your choice of toppings and enjoy!
