Banana and Coconut Flour Dog Pancakes
Pancake Day is a great day to make special treats for your pup! Whether they are a picky eater or enjoy a variety of snacks, you can create a delicious and nutritious gluten-free pancake made with banana and coconut flour. This recipe contains natural ingredients that not only taste good but also provide your pup with essential nutrients and vitamins.
Servings: 6 small pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 Ripe banana
- 1 Egg Shell can be included too, crush up small
- 100 g Coconut Flour You can use almond flour if you prefer
Instructions
- Mash the ripened banana with a fork until a smooth consistency.
- Add the egg and flour, beating until a smooth batter is formed
- This batter can be fried like a classic pancake or cooked in a waffle maker. If frying, use a small amount of coconut or olive oil. It can be useful to use an oil spray, meaning only a few drops are used to grease the pan and prevent sticking.“For dogs prone to pancreatitis, steer clear of the oil altogether.” Linda Simon.
Notes
Toppings
“No pancake is complete without toppings, however, many of our favourites, such as chocolate sauce, lemon, nuts, maple syrup and cream, are not safe to be ingested by our four-legged friends. Thankfully, there are many other options to choose from in order to make your pooches pancakes a little more exciting.”, says Dr Simon.

- Your dog's favourite treats
- Toxins like raisins, grapes, chocolate and macadamia nuts
- Dairy cream. Most adult dogs are lactose intolerant, and dairy can cause a stomach upset
- Sugar or syrup. While a sweet treat for us, it has no real nutritional value and can contribute to weight gain
- Lemon or lime. These citrus fruits are not well tolerated by dogs, and their juice is not easily digested.
