Banana pancakes with chocolate sauce FAQ:
Each pancake takes about 2-3 minutes to cook on one side until bubbles form and edges are set. After flipping, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Yes, you can use semi-sweet or milk chocolate as alternatives, but keep in mind that it will alter the flavor and sweetness of the sauce.
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can be reheated in a toaster or microwave.
A standard non-stick skillet or griddle that is around 10-12 inches in diameter works well for cooking the pancakes evenly.
You can substitute light sour cream with plain Greek yogurt or buttermilk for a similar texture and flavor.
Tips:

- Use ripe bananas for a sweeter and more pronounced banana flavor.
- Cook the pancakes on medium heat to ensure they are cooked through without burning.
- Keep the pancakes warm in a low oven while you prepare the chocolate sauce.
