Pancake Day Fun: A Dog-Friendly Recipe for Your Furry Friend
Pancake Day Fun: A Dog-Friendly Recipe for Your Furry Friend
Pancake Day is here, and while we’re flipping up delicious stacks for ourselves, why not include our four-legged friends in the fun? Regular pancakes can contain ingredients that aren’t ideal for dogs, like sugar and processed flour. But don’t worry! We’ve got a super simple, dog-friendly pancake recipe that’s as tasty as it is healthy.
Why Make Dog-Friendly Pancakes?
Traditional pancakes often contain ingredients like sugar, salt, and dairy, which aren’t the best for dogs. This easy homemade version is made with banana, oat flour, and egg, making it a nutritious and safe treat for your pup.
Healthy Pancake Ingredients for Dogs:
✅ Banana – Rich in potassium and a natural sweetener
✅ Egg – A great source of protein for strong muscles
✅ Oat Flour – Gentle on tummies and full of fiber
✅ Coconut Oil – Helps with a shiny coat and healthy skin
How to Make Them:
Follow our simple recipe below, and you’ll have dog-friendly pancakes ready in minutes! You can also get creative with toppings—just make sure they’re pup-safe. A dollop of plain yogurt, a sprinkle of blueberries, or a drizzle of natural peanut butter will make them extra delicious.
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1 egg
- 60ml (¼ cup) water or unsweetened almond milk
- 50g (½ cup) oat flour (or blended oats)
- ½ tsp baking powder (optional)
- 1 tsp coconut oil (for cooking)
Instructions:
- In a bowl, mash the banana until smooth.
- Add the egg and water/almond milk, then whisk until combined.
- Mix in the oat flour and baking powder until you get a smooth batter.
- Heat a non-stick pan over low heat and add a little coconut oil.
- Pour small amounts of batter into the pan to create mini pancakes.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Let them cool before serving to your pup.
🐶 Topping ideas: A drizzle of natural peanut butter, blueberries, or a spoonful of plain yogurt.
