Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Cool the Pancakes: Transfer pancakes to a wire rack and cool completely for 20–30 minutes to prevent sogginess and tummy upset.
  9. 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.
