Sunday mornings are a little more special in our house when pancakes are on the menu. The kids have theirs stacked high with syrup, and Coco sits patiently nearby, watching every flip like she’s missing out on the feast.
A few weeks ago, I thought… why shouldn’t Coco have a pancake of her own? With a ripe banana, a little oat flour, and a dash of love, these fluffy banana pancakes for dogs were born. Twenty minutes later, Coco was devouring her very own mini-stack, tail wagging like crazy.
And just like that, dog pancake mornings became a new weekend tradition.
🐾 Why These Pancakes Are Great for Dogs
1. A Fun Breakfast Moment
Making a small pancake stack for your dog makes them feel included. It turns a normal morning into something special.
2. Soft and Easy to Digest
Banana, oat flour, and egg are simple ingredients that most dogs handle well. They’re gentle on sensitive stomachs.
3. Can Be Served Many Ways
You can serve the pancakes whole, cut them into small bites, or even use them as soft training treats.
🥞 Fluffy Banana Pancakes for Dogs — Recipe.
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Oat flour | 2 cups |
| Ripe banana | 1 medium |
| Egg | 1 large |
| Water | ⅔ cup |
| Coconut oil | 1 tbsp (plus extra for cooking) |
| Baking powder | ⅔ tsp |
🪄 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients
Add oat flour and baking powder to a bowl. Stir gently with a whisk so everything blends well.
Step 2: Mash the Banana
Mash your ripe banana in another bowl until smooth. A very soft banana works best.
Step 3: Add the Egg and Water
Mix the egg and water into the mashed banana. Stir until everything looks smooth.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry
Pour the banana mixture into the dry ingredients. Add coconut oil. Mix until a thick, smooth batter forms—similar to normal pancake batter.
Step 5: Heat Your Pan
Warm a skillet on medium heat. Add a little coconut oil to coat the surface.
Step 6: Pour the Batter
Use ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for about 4–5 minutes until bubbles appear on top.
Step 7: Flip and Cook
Flip gently and cook another 3–4 minutes. The pancakes should turn light golden brown.
Step 8: Cool Completely
Place finished pancakes on a rack and let them cool for 20 minutes before serving.
