Ingredients
- Bananas: A dog safe fruit, I use organic bananas to make these pancakes fluffy!
- Honey: I use organic raw honey. Honey is antimicrobial and antibacterial, and some say it can help with your dogs allergies too.
- Coconut Milk: Make sure to use a coconut milk with only one ingredient like Jiva Organics. Avoid coconut milk with flavors, sugars, or gums.
- Blueberries: Organic blueberries have antioxidants, cancer fighting properties, and more. Your dog can eat blueberries every day!

- If you don't have blueberries, you can also use raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries as these berries are also dog safe.
- You can use extra virgin olive oil in place of coconut oil.

- Whisk to combine completely. Making sure to give your dog licks of coconut oil in the process!
- Add the flour and baking powder and mix to combine completely.

- In a large skillet over low to medium heat, grease it well with coconut oil. Use a ¼ cup to drop the pancakes into the skillet.
