Blueberry oatmeal pancakes
These pancakes are a delicious indulgence, combining the inherent sweetness of bananas with the explosion of taste from blueberries. They are created using whole oats instead of flour, resulting in a gluten-free and improved health option (make sure oats are certified gluten-free if needed). The formula is easy and includes ingredients that are dog-friendly, yet also pleasing to human palates.
Ingredients
Directions
- Place the rolled oats in a blender and blend until they reach a flour-like consistency.
- Add the banana, eggs, and almond milk or water to the blender. Blend until smooth.
- Stir in the blueberries gently by hand to avoid crushing them. If using baking powder, mix it in with the oats before blending.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush with a small amount of coconut oil.
- Pour small rounds of batter onto the skillet, about 1/4 cup for each pancake.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until small bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve the pancakes warm. For humans, add toppings like maple syrup, honey, or Greek yogurt. For dogs, top with a few fresh blueberries or a small dollop of plain yogurt. When serving these pancakes to your dog, avoid using toppings like chocolate, xylitol (found in some sugar-free syrups), or any artificial sweeteners.
Cooking tips for pets and humans:
Avoid harmful ingredients: Avoid avocado and anything containing caffeine or alcohol as these can be harmful to your dogs. Onions, garlic, chocolate, grapes and raisins as well as certain nuts can be deadly.
Seasoning: Keep dishes bland for pets. Dogs can be very sensitive to salt and spices, which can cause gastrointestinal upset. It’s best to remove a portion for your dog before adding any seasonings for your own servings.
Consult your vet: New foods should always be checked with a veterinary doctor before being fed to dogs. This is important because it ensures safety and proper measurements, especially considering that different animals have varying nutritional needs based on health condition, age and size.
