Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (100% pure, no added sugar or spices)
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 large egg

Waffle Toppings (Optional)

  • Blueberries (fresh or frozen, dog-safe)
  • Strawberries (sliced, dog-safe)
  • Bananas (sliced)
  • Peanut butter (natural, unsalted, without xylitol)
  • Dog treats (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, combine 1 cup of oat flour and ½ teaspoon of baking soda. Stir gently to distribute the baking soda evenly within the flour.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Add 1 cup of pumpkin puree, ½ cup of unsweetened applesauce, and 1 large egg to the dry mixture. Use a spoon or whisk to stir everything together until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions so it reaches the optimal temperature for cooking.
  4. Cook the Waffles: Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Close the lid and cook for approximately 3 minutes or until the waffle iron’s indicator light turns green signaling the waffles are done.
  5. Serve with Toppings: Carefully remove the waffles and let them cool slightly. Top with dog-friendly toppings like blueberries, strawberries, banana slices, a dollop of natural peanut butter, or some dog treats for added flavor and fun.
  6. Storage: Allow any leftovers to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients, especially peanut butter, do not contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
  • Always serve waffles at a lukewarm or room temperature to avoid burning your dog’s mouth.
  • Portion the waffles appropriately according to your dog’s size and dietary needs.
  • This recipe is grain-free if using certified oat flour but double-check if your dog has special allergies.
  • Consult your vet before introducing any new foods or treats into your dog’s diet, especially if your dog has health issues.
  • Feel free to customize the toppings based on what your dog enjoys and tolerates well.
