Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups oat flour
  • 1 ripe banana well mashed (about 1/3 cup)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or water
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil melted, plus extra for greasing the pan
  • 2 tablespoons fresh blueberries or 1 tablespoon pure pumpkin puree, or 1 tablespoon finely grated carrot (optional, choose one add-in)

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour and baking powder until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, mash the banana until smooth, then whisk in the egg, almond milk or water, and melted coconut oil.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until a thick, pourable batter forms.
  4. If using an optional add-in, gently fold in the blueberries, pumpkin puree, or grated carrot.
  5. Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over low to medium-low heat and lightly grease with a small amount of coconut oil.
  6. Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the skillet, spreading each portion into a small circle.
  7. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  8. Flip each pancake carefully and cook on the second side until lightly golden and cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
  9. Transfer pancakes to a wire rack and let cool completely before serving to your dog.
  10. Serve plain or break into bite-size pieces for training treats or to hide medication.

Notes

- Always let pancakes cool fully and serve plain with no syrup, chocolate, sugar, or salt.
- Store cooled pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- For very small dogs, cook smaller pancakes or cut into tiny pieces before serving.
- Use only one optional add-in per batch so the pancakes cook evenly and hold together.
