Raw Food Recipe: Banana Pecan Pancakes
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
SERVES 4
- 1 1/2 cup ground flax seed
- 1/2 cup flax seeds
- 1/2 cup dried, unsweetened coconut*
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup raw agave nectar or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut butter
- 1 cup sliced bananas
- 3/4 cup 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.

I want to purchase a dehydrator. What brand, size, price, etc. would you recommend? Thanks. Rainey

I like the TSM because it has a lot of drying space and it is very quiet, but you need to figure out what your needs are, both for dehydration and space. We sell TSM and Excalibur. Cheers!

Carol, it is stated many, many places on this blog that maple syrup is not raw but is used by many in the raw food community. The ingredient was raw agave or maple syrup. Not raw maple syrup. If you read the about page, you will notice that we are not militant raw here. Please note #11 on the FAQ page here: https://www.rawmazing.com/faq/

As a small scale maple syrup producer, I know how maple syrup is made… it’s boiled and boiled and boiled! It takes 40 gallons of maple water from the trees to make one gallon of syrup. Some of the bigger producers use reverse osmosis equipment to partially evaporate the maple water, but then they boil to finish the syrup. It is finished when it reaches about 219.5 degrees F, depending on altitude. Sorry for the bad news. Love the recipes!

SInce this is a raw food site, these recipes have been specifically formulated to be made in a dehydrator to preserve their raw status. I do not have instructions for using an oven. Please feel free to experiment on your own.
