Delicious and nutritious homemade dog waffles made with dog-friendly ingredients like oat flour, applesauce, and coconut oil.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cup oat flour
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce (or substitute with pumpkin puree)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Optional Add-Ins

  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (for added fiber and omega-3s)
  • ¼ cup unsalted chicken broth (optional, for a savory twist)
  • 12 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (for extra creaminess and protein)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Waffle Maker: Turn on your waffle maker and let it heat up. If your waffle maker isn’t non-stick, lightly spray it with non-stick spray or rub it with a little coconut oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the applesauce (or pumpkin puree), egg, melted coconut oil, and unsalted chicken broth (if using). Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the oat flour, baking powder, and any optional add-ins such as ground flaxseed or Greek yogurt to the wet ingredients. Stir until you have a thick, smooth batter. If it seems too thick, add a little more chicken broth or water to thin it slightly.
  4. Cook the Waffles: Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of batter into the waffle maker, depending on its size. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and firm. Cooking times may vary based on your waffle maker.
  5. Cool Completely: Carefully remove the waffles using a spatula and place them on a wire rack to cool completely. Ensure they are fully cooled before serving to your dog to avoid burns.
  6. Serve or Store: Serve the waffles as a tasty treat or use them as a meal topper. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze them for longer storage. Always thaw frozen waffles before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure waffles are completely cooled before giving to your dog to prevent burns.
  • Adjust recipe quantities based on your dog’s size and dietary needs.
  • Add peanut butter on top for an extra flavor boost if your dog enjoys it.
  • Feed these waffles as treats only; keep treats to no more than 10% of your dog’s daily calories.
  • Monitor your dog after feeding new foods to check for any allergies or sensitivities.
  • Use unsalted chicken broth only to avoid harmful sodium levels.
