Equipment

  • nonstick frying pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp chocolate spread
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 and 1/2 cup flour
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp baking powder

Instructions
 

  • If you want to make it in the frying pan, you can start mixing everything directly in it. Mash the two bananas together with the two eggs and the chocolate spread.
  • Add the milk and oil, mixing well.
  • Then add the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder, stirring until smooth.
  • Cook over low heat until fully set — use the toothpick test to check doneness.

Notes

If you prefer to bake it in the oven (like I did today):
  1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF) before starting the batter.
  2. Pour the mixture into a baking tin.
  3. Bake for 25–30 minutes — if the toothpick comes out clean, it’s ready.
