Why You’ll Love Making These Treats

What You’ll Need

Ingredients:

1 chicken breast, cooked and chopped
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix!)
1 cup brown rice flour
1 cup milk

Let’s Get Waffling!

Step 1: Heat Things Up

Preheat your waffle iron and spray it with a little non-stick cooking spray. This helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup a breeze!

Step 2: Mix It All Together

In a large mixing bowl, combine your cooked, chopped chicken, both cheeses, brown rice flour, and milk. Stir everything together until you get a thick, sticky batter.

Step 3: Scoop and Press

Once your waffle maker is hot, give it another quick spray with oil. Then, scoop in your batter. Use a fork to gently spread it out so it covers the waffle plates evenly.

Step 4: Cook to Golden Perfection

Close the waffle maker and let the magic happen! In about 3 minutes, you should have crispy, golden waffles packed with cheesy goodness. Every waffle maker is a little different, so keep an eye on them and adjust the cooking time if needed.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

Patience, pup! Let the waffles cool completely before serving them to your furry friend. You can break them into smaller pieces for little dogs or serve them whole for bigger pups who love a big bite.

Storage Tips

Now that you have a batch of delicious homemade dog waffles, here’s how to keep them fresh:

In the fridge: Store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
In the freezer: Pop them in a freezer-safe bag, and they’ll stay fresh for up to 3 months! Just thaw or pop them in the microwave for a few seconds before serving.

Ways to Customize Your Dog’s Waffles

Want to mix things up? Here are a few fun variations:

Go Grain-Free: Use coconut flour instead of brown rice flour for a different texture.
Make it Extra Meaty: Add a sprinkle of crispy bacon pieces.
Pumpkin Perfection: A tablespoon of pumpkin puree makes for a fun seasonal twist!

How to Serve These Waffles

These waffles are great on their own, but you can also get creative with how you serve them:

With a Yogurt Drizzle – A little plain Greek yogurt on top makes for a fancy (and tasty) treat.
Cut into Treat-Sized Pieces – Perfect for training or rewarding good behavior.
As a Meal Topper – Tear one up over your dog’s dinner for a special surprise!
