Steps

  1. Prepare the banana first: mash half of it in a large bowl and slice the remaining half for topping. Separate the egg into yolks and whites.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift the unsweetened cocoa powder, then whisk in the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt until the cocoa is evenly blended.
  3. To the mashed banana, whisk in the buttermilk, cooled espresso, egg yolks, vanilla and melted butter.
  4. In a clean bowl, whip the egg whites to soft peaks.
  5. Stir the cocoa-flour mixture into the banana mixture until just combined, with a few lumps left, then gently fold in the whipped egg whites to keep the batter airy. Rest 5 minutes.
  6. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and brush with one quarter of the canola oil.
  7. Pour in the batter by scant 1/3-cup portions and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles form and the edges look set, 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 in three more batches, brushing the skillet with another quarter of the canola oil before each batch.
  9. Stir the maple syrup into the Greek yogurt.
  10. Serve the pancakes topped with the sweetened Greek yogurt, the raspberries and the sliced banana.
