Pan frying bananas in butter then roasting them with sugar makes them into a rich sauce for chocolate pancakes.
Note: The amount of butter you need to cook the pancakes depends on the size of your skillet. I use about 1 tablespoon for an 9-inch pan. You can increase the size of the pancakes, just adjust cook time accordingly.

When bananas are almost ready, heat 1 tablespoon butter on skillet until starting to foam. Add batter and cook pancakes until golden on bottom, about 3 minutes, flip with a spatula, and cook until just cooked through, about another 2 minutes more. Place pancakes on plates. Continue making pancakes with remaining batter. Top pancakes with roasted bananas and serve.
