Chocolate Banana Pancakes with Peanut Butter Drizzle

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups180 gAll-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup25 gUnsweetened cocoa powdersifted
  • 2 tbsp25 gGranulated sugar
  • 1¾ tsp8 gBaking powder
  • ½ tsp2 gBaking soda
  • ¼ tsp2 gSalt
  • 1¼ cups (300 ml)300 gWhole milk
  • 1 tbsp15 gApple cider vinegar
  • 2 large100 gEggsbeaten
  • 1½ tbsp20 gCanola oil
  • 1¼ tsp5 gVanilla extract
  • 2 medium236 gBananasliced into thin coins
  • ¼ cup64 gPeanut butter, no salt added
  • 2 tbsp40 gMaple syrup
  • 1½ tbsp20 gWaterwarm
  • 2⅛ tsp10 gUnsalted butter

Steps

  1. Stir the cider vinegar into the whole milk and let it stand 5 minutes to thicken.
  2. Sift the unsweetened cocoa powder into a large bowl, then add the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt and whisk until the dry mixture is an even brown.
  3. Whisk the egg, canola oil and vanilla into the soured milk, then pour this wet mixture into the cocoa-flour mixture and stir just until no dry streaks remain; a few lumps keep the pancakes fluffy. Rest the batter 5 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, make the drizzle: in a small bowl, whisk the peanut butter, maple syrup and warm water until smooth and pourable.
  5. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt about one quarter of the butter.
  6. Pour scant 1/4-cup portions of the cocoa batter into the skillet and press a few banana coins into the top of each.
  7. Cook until bubbles form and the edges look set, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes more, until the centers spring back and reach 160°F (71°C).
  8. Repeat with the remaining batter and banana coins, adding another quarter of the butter for each batch until all the butter is used.
  9. Stack the pancakes on plates and spoon the peanut butter drizzle over the top.
