Pumpkin Dog Treats Recipes

Pumpkin Dog Treats Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (unsweetened, not pie filling)
• 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (or oat flour for gluten-free)
• 1/4 cup peanut butter (make sure it’s xylitol-free)
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients:
   In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, and eggs. Stir until well blended.
3. Add the Dry Ingredients:
   Gradually add the flour and cinnamon (if using) to the wet mixture, stirring until a stiff dough forms. You may need to use your hands to knead the dough as it becomes thicker.
4. Roll Out the Dough:
   Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
5. Cut Out the Treats:
   Use a cookie cutter in your desired shape (bone, paw print, etc.) to cut out the treats. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake:
   Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the treats are firm and golden brown. For a crunchier texture, you can leave them in the oven with the heat turned off for an additional 10-15 minutes.
7. Cool:
   Allow the treats to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
8. Store:
   Store the treats in an airtight container for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.

Enjoy! 🐶 Your pup will go wild for these tasty, pumpkin-packed treats!
