I made these several times and they are Purely Delicious ! My sister in
Connecticut is in 'love love love' with these !! So if anyone did not try them yet, just go for it ! Joz

Thanks Joz for the reminder.

I will as soon as I get all the ingredients. Actually, sounds like just the thing for when Jaimie will be visiting us next week. ;-) We haven't had 'brunch' in ages...

BIG QUESTION --

Can these pancakes be made firmer (less banana?) and can they be used as strawberry shortcake cake, possibly even lining a muffin pan?

[Ama]

Erica, have you made the pancakes? I find them to be quite firm (of course it depends on how long you dehydrate I guess). I think it would work well for a strawberry shortcake base. Sounds YUMMY

[Alanna]

They sound really good, I am going to have to try making them.

[MaRaw]

I'm so glad this recipe is getting around. If you try lining the muffin tins with it, please let us know how it turns out. That's a great idea!

Here's a photo to help. I know pictures are always worth 1,000 words.

Thanks MaRaw!
Any ideas on how well this might turn out if I use my oven?
I love banana pancakes but am dehydratorless

[Carmella]

OMG!!!

These pancakes are to LIVE for! Sooooo delicious! See the 'Photo only' thread for Jaime and I's rendition of them.

Thank you Maraw for sharing these. Once again, you have a true winner! And thanks Ama for posting the recipe here! A new favorite around our house for sure! ;-)

my mouth is watering!!! these are one of the first things im making when i return home to canada in a week! actually, i have all the ingredients here now to make them....so tempting...

[Carmella]

I know I've made these before but as I'm making them today, it occurred to me that '1 date' doesn't sound like much. Should it read '1 cup dates'?

Hopefully someone reads this soon as the batter is in the FP as I'm writing this...

[Damzlfly]

hey Carm...you are reading it right...1 date in the pancakes and 2 in the cream.

I just bought a tin of parnoosh honey dates today so I'm going to try these as soon as i get out of my cracker spree...we have the Spicy herb crackers from RFRW drying now, tomorrow is the Almond flax crackers from the complete book of raw food and the next day is the veggie crackers form the same book...I need some flax I think lol.

[Carmella]

Hey thanks Damzl!

I think I might have used a whole cup the first time I made them as they were quite sweet! lol

This time I opted for just the one! Phfew!

Sounds like you're turning into the Cracker lady... We hadn't made them for quite a while but are entering a 'spread and cracker' phase. Perfect no-brainer food for the summer. Can you keep us posted on your cracker experiments?

[Alanna]

I finally got around to making these pancakes and couldn't believe how good they tasted. I loved the texture of them too. Thanks so much for posting this recipe Ama

[Carmella]

I had brought a sample to my friend who has a raw deli last time I visited. She told me yesterday how much she enjoyed them so I printed it out for her.

And this wonderful recipe keeps being passed on...
