Instructions

Step 1

Whisk flour, cocoa, soda, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl; set aside. Whisk sugar, 1 tbsp. butter, vanilla, milk, banana, and egg in another bowl until smooth. Slowly add dry ingredients to banana mixture, whisking until smooth. Heat a 12" nonstick skillet over medium heat; brush with melted butter. Working in batches, ladle about 1⁄4 cup of the batter for each pancake into skillet. Cook until bubbles form on tops of pancakes, 2-3 minutes. Flip pancakes and continue cooking until center is cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Serve with sliced bananas and drizzle with chocolate syrup.
