When I was a little girl, every Sunday after church my family would go to breakfast at our local pancake restaurant. I still have those Sunday morning pancake cravings but no desire to eat traditional pancakes. For mother’s day, I decided to make create a raw food recipe for my favorite pancakes, banana pecan! They are amazingly filling, and will satisfy the desire for a special Sunday morning breakfast.
Banana Pecan Pancakes
- 1 1/2 C Ground Flax
- 1/2 C Flax Seeds
- 1/2 C Dried Coconut
- 3/4 C Water
- 1/4 C Agave or Maple Syrup
- 1/4 C Coconut Butter
- 1 C Sliced Bananas
- 3/4 C Chopped Pecans
Mix all ingredients together. You might want to get in there with your hands. Shape into pancake sized patties. Place on dehydrator shelf with screen. Dehydrate at 140 for 30 minutes, then 116 for another 30 minutes. These should still be moist.

yummm!!! this looks soooo good. best flavors… coconut butter, bananas, pecans!?!? decadent. i bet your mom loved these!! i am totally making these asap! thanks for the recipe!
I look forward to your posts every day. You do such a beautiful job. Tomorrow I am going to buy some pecans and try this. Ever make it with stevia?
I have not tried with stevia but you certainly could. You will need to adjust the liquid as agave and maple syrup are both liquid.
Well those certainly look delectable! Yum! I hope to make these soon.
mmmmm………….I want one of these so badly
looks ridiculously good. i’ve been craving pecans in the last while…
if you don’t have a dehydrator yet, can we place this in the oven to cook on low? how long ?
thanks,

This is such a great idea, Susan! I actually use most of those same ingredients when I make a cereal using raw oat bran and hot water or nut milks. Now I can leave out the water and nut milks and enjoy these delicious pancakes! YUM! Thank you! ;P
This sounds/looks delicious! Thanks for sharing. I will give it a go.
I posted this question here yesterday, but I don’t see it now. Don’t know if it just disappeared, or if maybe it don’t go through. So I’ll try again.
How big approximately is “pancake size”? Would that be about 5 inches in diameter, or roughly the size of a DVD? If so, how many pancakes will this recipe make? If it makes a lot, and I’m just making some for myself, I might want to cut the ingredients in half for a smaller batch.
Thank you! And my apologies if my other post about this eventually shows up!
Sorry…it didn’t come through yesterday. I make them about the size of a CD, and depending on how thick you make them, you should get about 6-8.
This would be an interesting and satisfying alternative to doughy pancakes. Can you tell me the recommended serving size per person? I’m concerned with the level of calories and fat. It seems like something I’d save for more of a decadent desert or special occasion rather than as a substitute for a healthy breakfast. But I think I will definitely try this one at some point. Thanks.
WOW these look amazing….can’t wait to try them…..because I do miss pancakes ;0((
One pancake is plenty! And I agree…these are a Sunday morning treat for me.
I am not a huge fan of flax seed and tend to substitute chia in its place. Any thoughts on subbing the chia for the flax?
Thanks,
S
Chia? I have no idea…haven’t tried it. If you do, let me know!!
OMGosh! Perfect…
I can not wait to try these tomorrow morning for breakfast!!
Oh yummers. thanks for sharing the recipe!
Hi Susan,
I made these and they are SO delish! Just made a couple of changes…used walnuts as I didn’t have any pecans..ugh..lol! and I omitted the water and used 2 medium mashed up banana’s….came out very yummy! Thank you SO much! xoxo
I made these this morning for my fiance Andre and he gave them a definite “thumbs up!” I look forward to your updates… you have one of the best blogs and the most beautiful recipes. THANK YOU!
I had this for breakfast today, was delicious I really enjoyed them, after that I had a Yoga session and the combination felt great.
Thanks
I’ve just stumbled upon your blog and felt compelled to thank you for posting such incredible recipes. I have to ask, though, regarding this particular one. It sounds delicious, but the directions state it should be dehydrated at 140 degrees–must it then no longer be considered raw?
It is the food temperature you need to be worried about, not the air temperature. During the first part of dehydration, the food itself is mostly kicking off moisture and never even gets close to 116. You can read more about this here: http://www.rawmazing.com/articles/raw-food-dehydration-basics/
Very interesting. Thanks for the info!
Susan, These pancakes are absolutely amazing!!! Just like I always wanted pancakes to taste. The texture is perfect. And they are so easy and quick to make. Thank You for your ingenuity! Stelena
I’m beginning my raw foods journey, and I broke in my new dehydrator with this recipe. Absolutely delicious! I only made half a batch and I’m glad because I could only eat one! I have plenty left for other days. Thank you for a wonderful recipe and a RAWmazing sight. I can’t wait to try some of your other recipes.
Oh, my goodness.
I miss pancakes and waffles sooooo much.
Thank you for the quick pancake recipe, i didn’t want one that took overnite to make.
They are on right now and my tummy can’t wait much longer.
Thank you so much for calming the pancake monster inside of me.

To warm up leftover pancakes, do you simply place them back into the dehydrator?
HI there, I saw this question asked earlier.. would it be possible to put these in the oven for a bit at low temp?? We don’t have a dehydrator either.
A dehydrator works very differently than an oven. You would have to experiment with it and also know that you will most-likely compromise the raw status.
Is this still raw, considering that you’re dehydrating at 140 degrees? I don’t know much about raw foods,
but I thought exposing foods to a little over 100 degrees F made them no longer raw…Have you ever dehydrated these pancakes at lower temperatures? If so, how long did it take?
No need to respond to my first post…I just read the answer you posted on Jan 6…thanks!
