Dog Friendly Pancakes – A Recipe For Your Pooch

Make some dog friendly pancakes and treat your furry friend any time of the year. Be it on a special celebration or ‘just because’, these pancakes will surely shake some tails. Before the cook, remember: although such a treat can be an occasional fun addition to your dog’s diet, they must, of course, be given in moderation and not replace their regular meals. If you are still a bit apprehensive about adding anything new to your dog’s diet, then it’s always best to have a word with your vet. Now, let’s get to the good stuff: making those pancakes!

Dog Friendly Pancake Recipie

Ingredients

  • 2 Ripe Bananas
  • 2 Eggs
  • A squirt of Honey (Opt for raw honey for its purest form)
  • Coconut Oil or Rapeseed Oil for frying

Method:

  1. Begin by mashing the bananas in a bowl using a fork, then whisk in the eggs until you achieve a somewhat runny mixture. It’s perfectly fine if there are a few lumps – your dog won’t mind!
  2. Stir in a squirt of honey to sweeten things up.
  3. Heat your pan over medium and lightly grease it with your choice of oil.
  4. Pour the batter into the pan, or for a bit of fun, into greased cookie cutters placed in the pan.
  5. Cook until golden on one side, then flip (carefully with the cookie cutters, they’re hot!).
  6. Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate to cool. Patience is key – ensure they’re cool enough for your pup to enjoy safely.

Toppings

The best part of any pancake is arguably the toppings, and this is where you can really cater to your dog’s tastes:

  • Safe Peanut Butter: Ensure it’s xylitol-free, as xylitol is harmful to dogs.
  • Meat Treats: Lean beef, chicken, and turkey—it all works well, so long as it’s cooked and unseasoned.
  • Veggie Boost: Add some of those greens in with spinach or broccoli for a nutrient-rich topping.
  • Fruity Fun: Blueberries or sliced apples can add sweetness, but remember some moderation is called for given the sugar content.
  • Dairy Delights: Low-fat cottage cheese or Greek yogurt adds a creamy touch. However, be careful if your dog has a lactose sensitivity.

Can dogs eat pancakes with cinnamon?

Cinnamon in small quantities is generally safe for dogs, but it’s best to avoid it as it can cause irritation.

Can dogs eat buckwheat pancakes?

Yes, dogs can eat buckwheat pancakes since buckwheat is a seed and does not contain grains, and it’s gluten-free. Just make sure the pancakes are plain and contain no ill ingredients or additives.

Can Dogs Have Maple Syrup?

If it is real maple syrup—maple syrup that is organic and without additives—then it isn’t toxic to dogs. It does contain a great deal of sugar, though, and therefore should be used very sparingly, if at all. Avoid imitation maple syrups that contain xylitol in them. It’s generally best to stick to healthier toppings.

Get Creative With Your Dog-Friendly Pancakes

Let your creativity shine by using mini-cutters in fun shapes like bones or paw prints, or even try your hand at free-hand shapes with a squeezy bottle. Not only will your dog enjoy these tasty treats, but they’ll also look fantastic on your social media feeds. Remember, the joy is in the making and the sharing – so have fun with it!
