John John and I make these doggy waffles all the time! He's a big fan of these homemade dog treats as they are soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet. This is a great homemade soft dog treat, especially if you have an older dog. Try some of our other soft dog treats like Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog Cookies or Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats.
While you can eat these dog waffles, you could also make yourself some human waffles if you want! Try some of our favorites like Eggless Sourdough Waffles, Buttermilk Pumpkin Waffles, or Homemade Malted Milk Waffles.
Ingredients
- Banana: Organic bananas are a dog safe fruit that make these doggy waffles super fluffy!
- Pumpkin: We use Nummy Tum Tum Organic Pumpkin in this recipe which also helps make these waffles fluffy!
- Peanut Butter: I use organic peanut butter. Be sure to use organic peanut butter with just peanuts or peanuts and salt. A little salt is fine for your dog in moderation, so no need to buy salt free just for them. Just be sure your peanut butter has no other added ingredients.
- Coconut Milk: Organic coconut milk is the best milk option for dogs. Just be sure you're using a coconut milk with just one ingredient like Jiva Organics. Stay away from added sugars (natural flavors, sugar, ect.) and stabilizers (like guar gum, locust bean gum, or gellan gum that some coconut milks can have).

Tips for Pumpkin Waffles for Dogs
- This recipe is super flexible, mix it up in one bowl or use a hand mixer or stand mixer.
- Make sure to use dog safe peanut butter. Use creamy peanut butter with only peanuts and salt. Avoid all other ingredients such as added sugars, flavors, and especially xylitol as it's incredibly toxic for dogs.
- I top these with apples as apple is John John's favorite fruit! But, you can also top these with bananas, blueberries, or strawberries!
- These are freezer friendly, just store in an airtight container in the freezer!
