Sunday mornings have always been a special time for my daughters and I. The luxury of being able to sleep in and rising to make a big breakfast was the traditional way we celebrated. My girls are now living in Colorado and Sundays seem to beckon to me in a completely different way, but I still find myself craving that day’s tradition of a special breakfast. With that as my inspiration, I threw together a few things and came up with these yummy blueberry flax pancakes. They do take a couple of hours in the dehydrator so plan ahead just a little.
Blueberry Flax Pancakes
- 1/2 C flax seeds (ground)
- 1 C flax seeds (not ground)
- 3 T coconut oil melted
- 1/4 C agave
- 1/2 C water
- 1 C blueberries
- 1/4 C coconut (unsweetened, dried)
Mix all ingredients. Dehydrate at 145 for one hour, flip and then dehydrate for 30 minutes at 114. Makes 5, 5″ pancakes. These are very filling!!

Whoa, those look amazing! These look sort of like Ani’s Coconut Breakfast Cakes, which are my favorite thing ever. Do you think they would still be good if they weren’t dehydrated? I guess I should just find out for myself. Yum.
Ooh, they look great and thanks for sharing the recipe!
Wow, these look great!
Sure glad I came across your site. I decided to start a raw life. Today was my fist day and
it was easier than I though. I certainly will enjoy coming back to your site. Once can never have to many recipes and yours look and sound so yummy
These look so fantastic! I’m fascinated with 100% raw food dishes!
I see you set your dehydratror to 145… I thought you were supposed to keep it below 116 to keep it ‘raw’. I’m just learning so I may have my facts messed up.

Hi Beth,
You are actually right about the temp. For it to be considered raw you want to dehydrate things between 115-120 degrees. Some raw foodies say 118 degrees. That of course will take you longer. You could put them in the night before, and they’d be ready in the morning.
Once again: You can start your dehydration at a higher temp (ie 145) because the food never reaches that temp within the amount of time specified. It does not matter what the air temp is, it is the food temp. Many raw food people, including Gabriel Cousins recommend this technique because it cuts down on the dehydration time and also does a very good job of pulling out the moisture quickly so you don’t have a problem with fermentation. Also, 118 is the highest that I have ever heard and most keep it under 116.
BTW…if you put this recipe in the night before, it would be leather by morning.
I travel every week and am without a car during my travels, so I am looking for things I can travel with (I do check my bags, so can pack alot of ingredients). These look awesome and very travel “able”. What do you use for your syrup? AND can the foods be warmed slightly to satisfy the need for hot food? IF so, how would this be accomplished?
Sorry for all the questions, but I am determined!!
These would have to be refrigerated as you don’t dehydrate them dry. You can warm things but you have to be very careful to not go over 116 degrees if you want to keep it raw. I use maple syrup which isn’t raw but used by many raw food chefs.
Any suggestions for travel”able” recipes?
These look yummy! Will they keep for 2-3 days in the fridge?
Yes…they keep very well. Enjoy!
Your photographic talents are truly a tribute to a one more consciousness-raising concoction that you have so generously shared.

These look simply delectable! I’m gonna go try them out right now (I wonder if I have any blueberries) =^-^=
A friend who has now been on Raw foods for almost a month sent me your website and wow, wow, wow so full of information. I am just begining to get into Raw foods and have muct to learn regarding this new way of eating – how exciting. Yes for sure I would be looking for easy to make recipes.
The oatmeal cookies look yummy. I do need to purchase a dehydrater – any suggestions – are there different one’s etc. I live in Cape Town – South Africa.
Thanks for an awesome site.
My favorite is the TSM (see link to the left) but Excalibur makes a good one also that is a little less money. There are articles on the site about dehydrating and dehydrators. http://www.rawmazing.com/articles/raw-food-equipment-questions-dehydrators/
These look great! How many is a serving? Just 1?
I just made these and couldn’t wait until breakfast to eat them!!! They are fantastic! Thank you for this incredible recipe!!!!!
