Make the batter: add the flour, milk, eggs and salt to a medium bowl and stir to thoroughly combine.
Add the chocolate chips: pour the chocolate chips into the mixing bowl and stir to combine.
Cook the pancakes: spray a crepe pan with oil, turn the stove to a medium heat and use a ⅓ cup to portion the batter onto the pan. Cook the pancake for 2 to 3 minutes. Once the pancake has bubbles in the very centre, bursting as they emerge, slide a silicon flexible turner underneath and flip to the other side. Cook for a further 1 to 2 mins.
Prepare the bananas: use a knife and chopping board to thinly slice the 2 bananas into pieces.
Stack the pancakes: transfer the 1st cooked pancake to a serving plate and begin a stack. Place the sliced banana pieces on top of the cooked pancakes, repeating until the batter is fully cooked.
Top the pancakes: pour maple syrup over the pancake stack, add a knob or 2 of butter and sprinkle some additional chocolate chips on top (optional).
Serve and enjoy: present the stack to the table as a centre pieces and provide additional serving plates, knifes and forks. Dig in and enjoy!

Note 1 - Self-raising flour: if you want to sift the flour, go for it. I find, however, the results are not too different for this recipe if I do or don't. My preference is to ensure once the batter is combined, that I thoroughly whisk it (by hand with a fork is ok), to ensure it is smooth with no lumps.
Note 2 - Milk: I am using full cream milk, however, you can use milk to your preference. Be it skim, almond, coconut, soy etc. These will work if you use the equivalent amount.
Note 3 - Chocolate chips: you can use milk, dark or white chocolate chips. They need to be cooking chocolate, not eating chocolate. To the equivalent amount, ie 1 cup, 8oz.
Note - Portion size: this recipe will make at least 8 pancakes. As a guide the nutritional information has been worked out to be 2 x pancakes per person. You can feed more using the same ingredient measurements if you make smaller pancakes (try ¼ cup size instead).
