Ingredients and Their Health Benefits
- 1 1/2 cups rice flour: Gluten-free and gentle on sensitive tummies.
- 1/2 cup oat flour: Provides fiber and aids digestion.
- 1 teaspoon baking powder: Helps pancakes rise for a fluffy texture.
- 1 cup water: Hydrates and binds ingredients.
- 1 cup pumpkin puree: Rich in fiber, beta-carotene, and vitamin A.
- 1 egg: A great source of protein and healthy fats.
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil: Adds healthy fats for energy.
Instructions
- Combine rice flour, oat flour, and baking powder in a bowl. Whisk to mix.
- In another bowl, stir together pumpkin puree, egg, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing well. Slowly stir in water to create a smooth batter.
- Heat a tablespoon of coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Place a cookie cutter in the pan. Pour batter into the cutter, spreading it evenly. Cook until the bottom is lightly browned.
- Carefully flip the pancake (with the cutter still in place). Press down the edges to release the pancake, and cook the other side until browned.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil as needed. Cool completely before serving.
Can Humans Eat These Treats?
Yes, these pancakes are made with human-grade ingredients! However, they’re tailored for dogs, so the taste may be less sweet than a typical pancake.
Feel free to enjoy one if you’d like, but for a sweeter treat, drizzle some honey or add your favorite syrup.
