Easy Dog-Friendly Strawberry Pancake Recipe

Looking for a recipe for dog-friendly strawberry pancakes? We have you covered! To celebrate this upcoming National Strawberry Day (February 27, 2023) and National Pancake Day (February 21, 2023) we’d like to share this dog-friendly strawberry pancake recipe.

Ingredients
For the pancakes:

  • 1 medium egg
  • ½ cup + 2 tablespoons (160 g) buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoon all-natural peanut butter (unsalted)
  • ½ cup (70 g) buckwheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons (20 g) quick-cook polenta
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2-3 tablespoons water
  • Oil for cooking

For the peanut butter drizzle:

  • 2 x tablespoons of peanut butter
  • 1 x tablespoon of warm water

For the topping

  • 150g strawberries washed and chopped

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, beat the egg. Mix in the buttermilk and peanut butter. Mix in the buckwheat flour, polenta and baking powder. The batter should be thick, but be able to drizzle off a spoon very slowly.
  2. If the consistency of your batter looks too thick, add small amounts of water a spoonful at a time. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Heat a griddle to a medium heat. Add oil to the griddle and add the batter. If you happen to have a dog bone cookie cutter handy, pour the batter into the cookie cutter and spread to the edges using a spoon.
  4. Cook for around 2 minutes, until the underside is golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional minute, until both sides are golden brown.
  5. To make the peanut butter drizzle, mix 2 tablespoons of peanut butter with 1 tablespoon of water. Depending on your choice of peanut butter, you may need to slightly adjust the amount of water to get a runny consistency. To serve, drizzle the pancakes with peanut butter and fresh strawberries

Easy Strawberry Dog Ice Cream

It’s Strawberry Ice Cream Day! We have an easy strawberry dog ice cream recipe for you to make today.

Why are strawberries good for dogs?

Strawberries are a low-caloric treat that is high in antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin C. Does your dog need to lose weight? Substituting traditional dog treats with strawberries can help your dog reach their goal weight.

How to safely feed my dog strawberries?

Strawberries should have their stems removed and cut into small pieces to help prevent choking. Smaller dogs may benefit from having strawberries blended instead of tiny pieces. Other than removing stems and small pieces you don’t have to do anything else to strawberries to make them safe for dogs. You can also try our strawberry ice cream recipe below or one of our other strawberry ice cream recipes.
