It's easy to make pancakes for dogs that can be given as an occasional treat or for a special breakfast.
Just a few ingredients with no flour make these dog pancakes a great grain-free, dairy-free and gluten-free dog treat. These dog pancakes are not something you should give to your dog everyday but an occasional treat.
You could enjoy these pancakes yourself and perhaps share a few over a brunch! My dogs went crazy for these and I think it might have been the smell of cooked banana.

Storage
The dog pancakes can be made ahead, and stored in the fridge for later. Reheat them until they are slightly warm before serving them. They are best fresh but will keep in the fridge for a couple of days if stored in an airtight container.
Serving Suggestions
