Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour (cooked) Provides complex carbohydrates for sustained energy and is a good source of fiber for digestive health.
  • 1/2 cup Rolled Oats (cooked) Another excellent source of fiber, aiding in steady digestion and promoting a feeling of fullness.
  • 1/4 cup Pumpkin Puree (unsweetened, plain) A digestive superstar! Rich in fiber and vitamins, it's known to help with both constipation and diarrhea.
  • 1 large Egg (cooked) A fantastic source of protein for muscle development and repair, plus essential vitamins and minerals.
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Apple Sauce Adds a touch of natural sweetness and moisture, offering vitamins and fiber. Ensure no xylitol.
  • 1 tablespoon Peanut Butter (xylitol-free) A tasty binder and a good source of protein and healthy fats. Crucially, ensure it contains *no xylitol*, which is toxic to dogs.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon A warming spice that can offer anti-inflammatory benefits and is safe in moderation for dogs.

Equipment

  • Waffle maker
  • Mixing bowl
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your waffle maker according to its instructions. Lightly grease the waffle maker plates with a pet-safe cooking spray or a tiny amount of coconut oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together the cooked whole wheat flour and cooked rolled oats.
    1 cup Whole Wheat Flour (cooked), 1/2 cup Rolled Oats (cooked)
  3. To the same bowl, add the plain pumpkin puree, cooked egg, unsweetened apple sauce, xylitol-free peanut butter, and cinnamon.
    1/4 cup Pumpkin Puree (unsweetened, plain), 1 large Egg (cooked), 1/4 cup Unsweetened Apple Sauce, 1 tablespoon Peanut Butter (xylitol-free), 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
  4. Stir all the ingredients together until a thick batter forms. It should be similar in consistency to pancake batter.
  5. Spoon the batter onto the preheated waffle maker, spreading it evenly to fill the sections without overflowing. Close the lid and cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and cooked through. The batter should be firm to the touch.
  6. Carefully remove the cooked waffle from the waffle maker and place it on a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents the waffle from becoming soggy as it cools.
  7. Once cooled, you can break the waffle into smaller pieces for immediate serving or store it for later in an airtight container.

Notes

Store completely cooled waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 2-3 months.
