Why Your Dog Will Love These Waffles

Dogs are drawn to the natural sweetness of apples and the comforting scent of cinnamon—just like we are! These waffles are soft, flavorful, and easy to chew, making them great for dogs of all sizes. Plus, they’re made with limited ingredients, so you know exactly what your pup is eating.

Ingredients

Just a few basic ingredients make these tasty waffles for dogs.

• Oat flour – A gentle, gluten-free flour alternative that’s easy on your dog’s digestion and full of fiber. Other dog friendly flours can be used.
• Grated apple – Adds natural sweetness and a boost of vitamins A and C. Just make sure to peel and core the apple first.
• Egg – Provides protein and helps bind the ingredients together for a light, fluffy texture.
• Cinnamon – A dog-safe spice (in small amounts) that adds a warm flavor and may even help with inflammation.
• Water – Helps to bring everything together into a smooth batter. You could substitute this with plain Greek yogurt for a higher protein content.

How To Make Apple Cinnamon Dog Waffles

This is a thick waffle batter which you can thin down if you wish with more water.

Mix all the ingredients together.

Spoon the mixture in to a waffle maker.

Cook until golden and firm.

Serve with apple slices and plain Greek Yogurt.

Recipe Tips

• Use unsweetened apples and avoid seeds and core—apple seeds are toxic to dogs.
• If you don’t have oat flour, you can make your own by grinding plain rolled oats in a blender or food processor.
• These waffles can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
• Want smaller bites for training treats? Use a mini waffle maker!
