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 melted coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Mash the Banana: Peel 1 ripe, sweet banana (preferably brown-spotted for maximum sweetness) and mash it thoroughly in a large mixing bowl using a fork for 30–45 seconds until smooth and lump-free. Microwave for 10 seconds beforehand if the banana is too firm for easier mashing.
  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 vigorously for 1–2 minutes until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy, scraping the bowl sides to incorporate all ingredients.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add 1 ½ cups oat flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder to the wet mixture, stirring continuously for 1–2 minutes until the batter is smooth, thick, and free of lumps, resembling a typical pancake batter.
  4. Check Batter Consistency: Assess the batter texture, aiming for a thick yet pourable consistency. If too thick, add 1–2 teaspoons more almond milk or water and mix. If too thin, sprinkle 1 tablespoon more oat flour and mix. Optionally, blend the batter for 20–30 seconds to achieve a smoother texture.
  5. Heat the Skillet: Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for 2–3 minutes. For non-nonstick pans, lightly grease with coconut oil and wipe excess. Test readiness by flicking a drop of water—it should sizzle upon contact.
  6. Pour the Pancakes: Using a ladle or ¼ cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet to form pancakes 3–4 inches wide. Space pancakes 1–2 inches apart to prevent them from merging. Aim to make 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 with a spatula and cook the other side for 2–3 minutes until golden brown and firm. Adjust heat to prevent burning. Test doneness by lightly pressing the pancake—it should spring back.
  8. Cool the Pancakes: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a wire rack to cool completely for 20–30 minutes without stacking to avoid sogginess. Proper cooling prevents tummy upset for your dog.
  9. Serve and Store: Serve pancakes as a special snack or breakfast, cutting into smaller pieces for small dogs. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen pancakes in the fridge overnight before serving, adding any toppings only after thawing.

Notes

  • Use ripe, sweet bananas for natural sweetness and better flavor.
  • Ensure all ingredients are dog-safe and free from harmful additives.
  • Adjust batter consistency carefully to achieve perfect pancake texture.
  • Allow pancakes to cool completely before serving to avoid digestive upset.
  • Store pancakes properly to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.
  • Always introduce new foods gradually and in moderation to your dog’s diet.
