Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour (made by blending rolled oats until fine)
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup pumpkin puree (pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened, xylitol-free peanut butter
- ¼ cup water (adjust as needed for batter consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle maker: Plug in and heat your waffle maker so it’s ready for an even cooking process that yields golden, firm waffles.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, egg, and water until smooth to form the moist base of the batter.
- Add dry ingredients: Stir in oat flour and peanut butter until just combined. The batter will be slightly thick, which is ideal for waffle consistency.
- Cook the waffles: Lightly grease the waffle maker if necessary. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the waffle plate, close the lid, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until waffles are firm and golden brown.
- Cool before serving: Remove the waffles carefully and transfer to a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely to ensure safety for your dog.
- Serve or store: Break into bite-sized pieces for easy serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for later use.
Notes
- Always use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, which contains spices and sugars harmful to dogs.
- Ensure the peanut butter used is xylitol-free, as xylitol is toxic to dogs.
- Batter consistency can be adjusted with water; it should be thick but pourable.
- Cool waffles thoroughly before serving to avoid burns or discomfort.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
