Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups oat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ripe and sweet banana, mashed
- 1 egg
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or water)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (melted)
- Mash the Banana: Peel 1 ripe, sweet banana and mash it thoroughly in a mixing bowl using a fork until smooth and lump-free, about 30–45 seconds. Microwave for 10 seconds beforehand if the banana is too firm.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add 1 egg, ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or water), and 1 teaspoon melted coconut oil to the mashed banana. Whisk together for 1–2 minutes until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in 1 ½ cups oat flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder into the wet mixture. Mix for 1–2 minutes until the batter is smooth and thick with no lumps.
- Check Batter Consistency: Ensure the batter is thick yet pourable like human pancake batter. Adjust consistency by adding 1–2 teaspoons almond milk if too thick or 1 tablespoon oat flour if too thin. Blend for 20–30 seconds for a smoother texture if desired.
- Heat the Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for 2–3 minutes. Lightly grease with coconut oil if not non-stick. Test heat by flicking a drop of water—it should sizzle.
- Pour the Pancakes: Use a ¼ cup ladle or measuring cup to pour batter onto skillet making 3–4 inch pancakes. Space them 1–2 inches apart. Prepare 8–10 pancakes depending on size.
- Cook the Pancakes: Cook first side for 2–3 minutes until bubbles appear and edges set. Flip carefully and cook the other side for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and firm.
- Cool the Pancakes: Transfer pancakes to a wire rack and cool completely for 20–30 minutes to prevent sogginess and tummy upset.
- Serve and Store: Serve one pancake as a treat or breakfast, cut into smaller pieces for small dogs. Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen pancakes in the fridge before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas with brown spots for maximum sweetness.
- You can substitute water for almond milk if preferred.
- Do not add any sugar, salt, or toxic ingredients like chocolate or xylitol.
- Allow pancakes to cool completely before serving to avoid upset stomach.
- Adjust portion sizes according to your dog’s size and dietary needs.
- Store pancakes properly to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.
