The most nutrient-dense pancakes you will ever eat, with a drizzle of fresh whipped cream, fried bananas, and crispy pieces of bacon.
Are you ready for this flavor combo? It’s wild. And freaky. And wonderful.
Jumbo banana beef liver pancakes with fresh whipped cream, Manuka honey, fried bananas, and bacon!
That’s a mouthful (no pun intended), but it’s a well-deserved intro for these glorious pancakes.
I used my standard Beef Liver Pancakes as the base, although I do provide an option to add some banana to the batter if that’s your thing.
The bananas (fried in bacon fat!) on top give a sweet flavor and add a hearty, dense texture. The bacon gives a salty kick and pairs well with the banana. And the whipped cream rounds it all out, but isn’t too heavy.
Add some honey for some extra flavor and extra sweet.
I figure people will either be repulsed or amazed by this combo. I was amazed. If you end up making these, let me know which camp you end up in.
What you need to make Jumbo Banana Beef Liver Pancakes with Fried Bananas, Bacon, and Whipped Cream Drizzle
Ingredients:
Raw beef liver
Equipment:
Substitutions
You can substitute the ghee for your animal fat of choice, although I do highly recommend ghee with this recipe due to its sweet and buttery flavor.
Although I have never tried it, blog readers confirmed beef spleen and beef kidney also works in place of the beef liver.
How to make Jumbo Banana Beef Liver Pancakes with Fried Bananas, Bacon, and Whipped Cream Drizzle
To start – make the whipped cream.
Pour a jar of heavy cream into a mixing bowl.
Beat with a hand mixer until soft peaks form.
Store the whipped cream in the fridge until you’re ready to use it. If you prefer, store it in a condiment squeeze bottle. This will enable you to apply the whipped cream beautifully to the pancakes.
Note: if you have finished whipped cream on hand or a substitute you prefer to use, you can skip this step.
Next – make the bacon + bananas.
Cook the bacon in a pan, and set it aside to cool.

Once the bacon is cooled, break it up into little pieces.
Turn the heat up to medium-high.
Chop the bananas into medallions. *
Once the pan is hot, fry the banana medallions in the bacon fat. The goal is to char them and get them as brown as possible without them turning black/burning. I usually flip them every 20-30 seconds or so, going through a few rounds.
Next – make the pancakes.
Blend the raw liver, eggs, 3 tbsp of ghee (room temperature/softened), and a dash of sea salt (or salt of choice) in a blender until smooth. No liver chunks should be left.
Optional: add 1/2 of a banana into the batter.
Note: If you add banana to the batter, the flavor is wonderful, but the pancakes are a bit harder to cook as they stick to the pan, are heavier, and harder to flip. The fried bananas give the dish enough of a banana-y taste to where I don’t think adding banana to the batter is necessary, but if that’s your thing and you love the taste of banana, give it a go!
*If you are adding banana to the batter, fry 1/2 of the banana and save 1/2 for this step.
Make as you would normal pancakes at medium heat, with the exception of cook time and resting from heat. **See notes below.
**Important notes:
If you decide to forego banana in the batter, expect to drastically shorten your cooking time compared to normal pancakes. Beef liver cooks very quickly, so these pancakes will cook in seconds. It usually takes about 15-20 seconds or so per side. Sometimes slightly more or less. You’ll know to flip it when the batter starts to bubble and the bottom of the pancake has solidified.
These pancakes like a lot of fat while cooking, so between every 1-2 pancakes, add some ghee to the pan.
Between each pancake, I let the pan rest from heat for about 10 seconds. I pour the next pancake onto the pan while it is removed from heat, and after about 5 seconds, I add the pan back to heat. This prevents the pancake batter from sizzling, cooking too fast, and burning.
I usually pour about 1/2 cup of batter per pancake to make the jumbo pancakes. They end up being 8-10 inches wide. One batch makes about 3 pancakes. Note: the jumbo pancakes will be a bit harder to flip.
Now – put it all together!
Top the pancakes with whipped cream, raw honey (ASHLEYR for 10% off), the fried bananas, and bacon pieces.
Devour! The flavor combo here is wild.
