The story of Savory and Sweet Banana and Pecan Pancakes begins in the kitchens of our grandmothers. These women were masters of the culinary arts, and they passed down their recipes to their daughters and granddaughters. One of these recipes was for a simple but delicious pancake made with ripe bananas, rolled oats, and chopped pecans. Over the years, this recipe has been adapted and modified to create the Savory and Sweet Banana and Pecan Pancakes that we know and love today.
