I made a bit a different version to day as I have no dehydrator (getting one this week)
I used 2 banana’s coconut and quinoa flakes and some almond milk dried them in a skillet on the lowest heat with a reducer plate under it.
They came out nice will be good when I have my dehydrator.
I just love experimenting.

Also, these are a little sticky as the base is bananas, not flour and eggs.

ok, thanks. I think perhaps the ripeness makes a difference. I will try again.

Gosh…

The bananas are medium ripe. Not as ripe as yours. Size is not that important as it shouldn’t matter. I have not weighed them. Depending on the mixture, I do spread it out a little. They are usually about 5″ in diameter and quite thin. No coconut oil.

I checked the temperature on my Excalibur and it’s fine. The crepes weren’t leather after 14 hours though – they were soft, but just so sticky.
I wanted to check a couple of things with you: How big are the banans you use (what weight)? How ripe are they (mine are really brown and soft, hence maybe have more sugar)? Do you literally just pour the mixture from the blender to the tray without spreading out with the back of a spoon at all? How thick would you estimate your pancakes are? Do you put anything on the tray (like coconut oil) to make it non-stick.
And one more question: How long does it take you to dehydrate tomatoes? Just as a comparison on the dehydrator. Mine I cut to about 3 mm and they take about 18 hours.

Interesting thought. Thanks. I’ll check the temperature.

That is interesting. I have made these many, many times and never had that problem. I could never dehydrate them for 14 hours, either. They would be fruit leather. Have you checked the temp in your dehydrator? I am wondering if it is running much lower than you think?

Great recipe – thanks. I made them yesterday and ate them today – they were gorgeous! Did have a problem with them being extremely sticky though and would appreciate some advice. They were a nightmare to get off the dehydrator tray and then when I was assembling them they stuck to every surface I put them on. I dehydratrated them for 14 hours (at 115) – it took that long for them to be dry enough to peel off the tray. I couldn’t serve to guests with them that sticky: Any advice?

[...] make them with strawberries or mangoes and a cream sauce. I got my inspiration from Susan over at Rawmazing. As I do with so many of my recipes. Thank you Susan! She’s a gourmet chef. But [...]
