Recipe 4: Banana and Sweet Potato Waffle Treats

Prep Time & Cook Time:

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Tools Needed:

Waffle maker

Mixing bowl

Fork or potato masher

Spoon or spatula

Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients Needed:

½ cup mashed sweet potato (cooked and cooled)

1 ripe banana (mashed)

½ cup oat flour

1 egg

¼ cup water (or low-sodium chicken broth for added flavor)

Follow These Steps Closely to Make This Treat:

1. Preheat the Waffle Maker

   Start by preheating your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Make sure it’s properly heated to ensure an even cook.

2. Prepare the Sweet Potato

   If you haven’t already, cook your sweet potato. You can either bake it, steam it, or microwave it. Once it’s soft, mash it thoroughly with a fork or potato masher. It should be smooth and free of any lumps.

3. Mix the Ingredients

   In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, ripe mashed banana, oat flour, and egg. Add water (or chicken broth) and mix everything together until you have a smooth, thick batter. The banana adds natural sweetness, while the sweet potato brings in extra fiber and nutrients.

4. Cook the Waffles

   Grease your waffle maker lightly with a little coconut oil or non-stick spray. Spoon the batter into the waffle maker, then close the lid. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and firm to the touch.

5. Cool & Serve

Once the waffles are cooked, carefully remove them from the waffle maker and let them cool completely on a wire rack. After they cool down, break the waffles into pieces that are appropriate for your dog’s size.
