Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 egg (or flaxseed mix: 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 2.5 tablespoons water)
- Water or low-sodium chicken/beef broth (as needed)
- Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
- Coconut oil or olive oil (for greasing the pan, optional)
Instructions
- Gather Your Ingredients: Collect all the ingredients listed above. Make sure you have everything ready to go.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of whole wheat flour, a pinch of cinnamon (optional), and any other dry ingredients you are using.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce, and 1 egg (or the flaxseed mix). Stir until well blended.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently. Add water or broth as needed until you achieve a smooth batter. It should be thick but pourable.
- Preheat Your Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can lightly grease it with a bit of coconut oil or olive oil if you prefer.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Once cooked, remove the pancakes from the skillet and let them cool completely before serving them to your dog.
