With Shrove Tuesday upon us (Tuesday 16th February), it’s time to whip up some batter, flip up a feast and tuck into an obscene amount of pancakes. Now your four-legged friend can join in on the fun with this tasty dog-friendly recipe that even you can eat!
Quite possibly one of the best foodie days of the year, Pancake Day is a time where we can completely indulge in sugary, buttery goodness without feeling too guilty about it. But as with all foodie days, pet owners can’t resist giving their dogs a treat too.
Fortunately, Head Vet Sean McCormack at tails.com has whipped up a delicious pup-friendly pancake recipe, so you can make sure your dog doesn’t miss out on the tastiness.
Carrot & Chickpea Pup Pancakes
Makes: 16 pancakes
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
-
100g cooked chickpeas (drained, tinned chickpeas are fine)
-
1⁄2 small carrot (about 50g), grated
-
2 eggs
-
100g self-raising flour
-
150ml oat milk
-
2 tbsp sunflower oil
Method:
-
Put the chickpeas in a food processor and whiz for a few seconds. Add all the remaining ingredients except the oil, and whiz again until blended.
-
Heat a little of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Spoon a heaped tablespoon of batter per pancake into the pan, leaving a little space in between. Fry the pancakes for 2–3 minutes on each side until lightly golden.
-
Plate up and allow to cool a little, and you’ll have your dog barking for brekkie.
-
Store the pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, or freeze, separated by sheets of greaseproof paper, for up to 3 months.
