Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup pumpkin puree (pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup water (adjust as needed for batter consistency)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened, xylitol-free peanut butter

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat flour (made by blending rolled oats until fine)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the waffle maker: Plug in your waffle maker and allow it to warm up fully, ensuring even cooking and a golden finish.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, egg, water, and peanut butter until smooth and well combined to create a moist base for the batter.
  3. Add the dry ingredients: Stir in the oat flour carefully until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
  4. Cook the waffles: Lightly grease the waffle maker if necessary. Pour approximately ¼ cup of batter onto the waffle plates (use less batter if using a mini waffle maker). Close the lid and cook for 3–5 minutes or until the waffles are firm and golden brown.
  5. Cool before serving: Carefully remove the waffles from the waffle maker and place them on a cooling rack. Allow them to cool completely to ensure they’re safe for your dog to eat.
  6. Serve or store: Break the waffles into bite-sized pieces for serving as a snack or training treat. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

  • Always use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, which may contain harmful spices and sugars.
  • Ensure peanut butter is unsweetened and contains no xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
  • If oat flour isn’t available, you can make it by blending rolled oats into a fine powder.
  • Adjust water quantity slightly to get a thick but pourable batter consistency.
  • Waffles can be frozen for up to 1 month; thaw before serving.
  • Cool waffles completely before giving them to your dog to prevent burns.
