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 (preferably brown-spotted for maximum sweetness) and place it in a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash it thoroughly for 30–45 seconds until it becomes smooth and lump-free like creamy baby food. Microwave the banana for 10 seconds if it’s 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 vigorously for 1–2 minutes until the mixture is uniform and slightly frothy, scraping the bowl’s sides as needed.
  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, forming a consistency similar to thick pancake batter.
  4. Check Batter Consistency: Inspect the batter; it should be thick yet pourable. If too thick, add 1–2 teaspoons of almond milk or water and mix briefly. If too thin, stir in 1 tablespoon more oat flour. For a smoother batter, blend the mixture 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, lightly grease with coconut oil and remove excess with a paper towel. Test the heat by flicking water onto the pan — it should sizzle.
  6. Pour the Pancakes: Pour batter using a ladle or ¼ cup measuring cup onto the skillet, making 3–4 inch pancakes spaced 1–2 inches apart. Aim to make 8–10 small pancakes depending on size.
  7. Cook the Pancakes: Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set. Flip carefully and cook an additional 2–3 minutes until golden brown and firm. Adjust heat if browning too quickly.
  8. Cool the Pancakes: Transfer pancakes to a wire rack to cool completely for 20–30 minutes. Avoid stacking to prevent sogginess. Cooling is important to avoid stomach upset in dogs.
  9. Serve and Store: Serve one pancake as a treat or breakfast, cutting into smaller pieces for tiny dogs. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for 3 months. Thaw frozen pancakes overnight in the fridge before serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe, brown-spotted bananas for maximum sweetness without added sugar.
  • Ensure the pancake batter is not too runny to avoid overly thin pancakes that are hard to flip.
  • Always cool pancakes completely before serving to your dog to prevent digestive upset.
  • Store leftovers properly to maintain freshness and freeze for longer storage.
  • Consult your vet before introducing new treats if your dog has food sensitivities or allergies.
