Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until it becomes a smooth puree.
- Crack the egg into the bowl with the banana and whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Add the whole wheat flour to the bowl and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in water, one tablespoon at a time, until the batter is thick but pourable.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
- Pour small circles of batter onto the skillet, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look dry.
- Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and let them cool completely before serving to your dog.
Notes
Make pancakes small (about silver dollar size) for portion control and even cooking. Use medium-low heat to prevent burning. Store cooled pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze for up to two months. Substitutions: Plain pumpkin puree or unsweetened applesauce can replace the banana. Oat flour, coconut flour, or brown rice flour are good gluten-free alternatives to whole wheat flour.
