Ingredients
- Griddle Cakes:
- ¾ cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder, sifted
- ¼teaspoon sea salt
- ½teaspoon baking soda
- 2tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¾cup buttermilk
- 1large egg
- 1½ tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
- ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Bananas:
- 1½ tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1teaspoon light brown sugar
- 2firm bananas, each cut into 6 pieces
Preparation
- 1.Preheat the Cuisinart® Compact Grill Centro, fitted with the griddle plate, to Medium.
- 2.While the grill is preheating (about 10 minutes), combine the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Stir with a whisk to blend.
- 3.Combine the buttermilk, egg, 1½ tablespoons of melted butter and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine. Add the buttermilk/egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just blended. Do not over mix.
- 4.Using a ¼- to ¹∕ ³-cup measure, drop batter onto the preheated griddle plate. Cook pancakes until bubbles form, about 3 to 4 minutes; flip and cook until done, about 3½ minutes longer.
- 5.While the griddle cakes are cooking, prepare the bananas. In a small mixing bowl, mix the other 1½ tablespoons of butter and light brown sugar together until well combined. Add bananas and toss to coat. Thread evenly onto skewers and fit intoplace (these can cook concurrently with griddle cakes. Start them after the first round of cakes). Cook until just softened, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- 6.Slice cooked bananas and serve on top of griddle cakes. For extra indulgence, dollop some freshly whipped cream and drizzle with chocolate sauce.
