Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups oat flour
  • 1 ripe and sweet banana, mashed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk (or water)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (melted)

Optional Toppings

  • Blueberries
  • Peanut butter (xylitol-free)
  • Honey (in moderation)
  • Mango (small pieces)
  • Unsweetened applesauce
  • Fresh spinach, chopped
  • Shredded carrots
  • Shredded cheese (dog-friendly like cheddar)

Instructions

  1. Mash the Banana: Peel 1 ripe, sweet banana and mash it thoroughly in a large mixing bowl using a fork for 30–45 seconds until smooth and lump-free. If too firm, microwave for 10 seconds to soften.
  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 for 1–2 minutes until well combined and slightly frothy, scraping the bowl sides.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in 1 ½ cups oat flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder, mixing for 1–2 minutes until the batter is smooth and thick with no lumps. The consistency should be pourable but not runny.
  4. Check Batter Consistency: Adjust thickness by adding 1–2 teaspoons more almond milk or water if too thick, or 1 tablespoon more oat flour if too thin. For a smoother batter, optionally blend for 20–30 seconds.
  5. Heat the Skillet: Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for 2–3 minutes. If not non-stick, grease lightly with coconut oil. Test heat by flicking water; it should sizzle.
  6. Pour the Pancakes: Using a ladle or ¼ cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet forming 3–4 inch wide pancakes, spaced 1–2 inches apart. Make 8–10 pancakes depending on size.
  7. Cook the Pancakes: Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes until golden brown and firm. Adjust heat as needed for even browning.
  8. Cool the Pancakes: Transfer pancakes to a wire rack and cool completely (20–30 minutes) to prevent sogginess and tummy upset in your dog. Avoid stacking while warm.
  9. Serve and Store: Serve pancakes as a treat, cutting into smaller pieces if needed. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen pancakes overnight in the fridge before serving and add toppings after thawing.

Notes

  • Use brown-spotted ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness.
  • Ensure peanut butter is xylitol-free to keep it safe for dogs.
  • Feed pancakes as treats only, not as a full meal.
  • Limit treats to no more than 10% of your dog’s daily caloric intake.
  • Cool pancakes thoroughly before serving to avoid digestive upset.
  • Customize toppings to your dog’s preferences and dietary needs.
  • Store in airtight containers to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.
