Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 4 tbsp water
  • 2 tsp oil
  • 8 tbsp canned pumpkin
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter base: In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the water and oil. Whisk these together until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy. This creates a smooth and consistent base for the pancake batter.
  2. Add the pumpkin: Stir the canned pumpkin into the egg mixture until it is evenly distributed throughout the liquid base, ensuring consistent flavor and texture.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: Mix in the all-purpose flour starting with 4 tablespoons, along with ground cinnamon, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to remove any flour streaks. If the batter is too thin, gradually add more flour up to 1/3 cup until the batter is thick enough for pancakes. Optionally, add a little extra cinnamon for enhanced fragrance.
  4. Cook the pancakes: Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil. Pour small amounts of batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then carefully flip them and continue cooking until golden brown on both sides.
  5. Cool and serve: Allow pancakes to cool completely before serving to your dog. Optionally, top with chopped, cooked apples and a sprinkle of cinnamon, making sure the toppings are cool. Test a small piece to ensure it is not too hot before giving it to your pet.

Notes

  • Ensure pancakes are completely cooled before serving to prevent any risk of burning your dog’s mouth.
  • Use canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid added sugars and spices harmful to dogs.
  • Adjust flour amount to get the right batter consistency; too thin batter will not hold together well when cooking.
  • Chopped cooked apples can be used as a topping for added flavor and nutrients, but serve in moderation.
  • This recipe is a treat and should be given in moderation alongside your dog’s regular diet.
