Actually. . . .I put the pecans IN the pancake batter.  I use the Krusteaz Wheat and Honey Complete pancake mix (or else a Jiffy Oatmeal muffin mix with extra liquid added, but can't seem to find these anymore) and add  pecans at home along with a bit of cinnamon, put it all in a ziplock bag, and then just mix it with water at the campsite.

We always take real maple syrup, too.  It is our one food luxury.  I get the Cook County maple syrup when we are up there each year, always bring home enough for us at home all year long.
