Best Banana Pancakes With Chocolate Sauce And Vanilla Ice Cream Recipes

CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon in a large bowl.
• After mixing well stir in milk, banana, egg and vanilla.
• Fold in 1/4 cup chocolate chips.
• Heat a griddle, sprayed with oil on medium heat. Pour batter onto griddle making 3 inch rounds.
• Cook about two minutes or until tops are bubbly. Flip pancake and cook for another minute or until golden.
• Prepare remaining pancake batter as directed adding more spray if needed.
• Place on individual plates and sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips.

VANILLA BANANA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Cut each banana into 6 chunks and freeze until rock solid, preferably overnight.
• Put the banana chunks and vanilla bean seeds or extract in a food processor and process. Hang on, your food processor may jolt in the very beginning! The bananas will look crumbly at first, then gooey and eventually light and creamy- just like ice cream. Stop the food processor frequently to scrape down the sides of the bowl and break up any clumps. Serve right away or scrape into a container and freeze until ready to serve.

FLUFFY BANANA PANCAKES WITH CARAMEL PECAN SAUCE AND RICOTTA CREAM

Steps:

• Caramel Pecan Sauce: In a small non-stick saucepan, melt caramel pieces gently with the cream, stirring occasionally until smooth and blended.
• Add pecans and flaked coconut (and rum or brandy if desired), stir to combine with sauce, then remove from heat.
• Serve warm over pancakes.
• Can be prepared the night before, then heated in the microwave until warm.
• Ricotta Cream: Place ricotta cheese, confectioners sugar, orange juice and orange zest in a bowl.
• Beat with a whisk until well combined.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Can be prepared the night before.
• Fluffy Banana Pancakes: Sift the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a bowl.
• Place buttermilk in a 2-cup glass-measuring cup and add butter.
• Microwave on high for 2 minutes, until butter melts.
• Lightly beat yolks, then combine with the buttermilk and butter mixture, whisking to incorporate.
• Then add vanilla essence and caster sugar (superfine sugar) and stir until sugar is dissolved.
• Add buttermilk mixture to the flour, and whisk together until batter becomes thick and smooth.
• Batter can be prepared to this stage, the night before.
• Beat egg whites in a clean dry bowl until stiff.
• Fold whites carefully into batter until evenly mixed (and the sliced bananas can be added at this stage, too, if you wish - otherwise, see step 20).
• Heat a 6-inch diameter fry pan or skillet and brush lightly with melted butter, or spray with vegetable oil.
• For each pancake, pour 1/2 to 3/4 cup batter into pan, and swirl around quickly to distribute evenly over bottom of pan.
• Cook until bubbles begin to appear on the surface, then lay some banana slices over the top.
• When pancakes are lightly browned on the bottom (about two minutes), flip over and cook other side.
• When cooked through, transfer pancake to a baking tray and keep warm in a low oven while you cook the rest of the batter (Each pancake should take about two minutes per side).
• To serve, drizzle warm caramel pecan sauce over each pancake, and top with a generous dollop or two of ricotta cream.

BANANA PANCAKES WITH CHOCOLATE SAUCE AND VANILLA ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Beat eggs lightly, stir in milk and flour, mix well with a whisk. Pour about 125ml of pancake mixture on hot, brushed with oil frying pan. Fry over medium fire on both sides until golden, leave aside. Repeat the same until pancake mixture is finished. In meantime in a small sauce pan place chocolate bar, milk and butter and heat over low fire until melted, leave aside. On the same frying pan you were frying pancakes melt the butter, place halved bananas, sprinkle them with vanilla sugar and fry on both sides until they are starting to get brown. Place half of fried banana in each pancake and roll them. Place on the plates with some vanilla ice cream on a side. Pour over chocolate sauce and serve immediately.
