Pumpkin Dog Treats
Delicious and healthy pumpkin dog treats made with natural ingredients that your furry friend will love.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree Make sure it’s plain and not pumpkin pie filling.
- 2 cups whole wheat flour For a healthier option, use oat flour or almond flour.
- 1/2 cup peanut butter Ensure it contains no xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon Optional, adds a warm flavor.
- 1 large egg Helps bind ingredients together; can substitute with unsweetened applesauce for a vegan option.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, whole wheat flour, peanut butter, and egg.
- Mix until a dough forms; knead gently to blend.
- Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick and use cookie cutters to create fun shapes.
- Place the cutouts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for about 30 minutes until the edges turn golden brown. For extra crunchiness, leave them in slightly longer.
- Allow treats to cool completely before serving.
Notes
Check baking time after 25 minutes; adjust time for softer treats. Avoid adding too much flour for the right texture.
