🎃 Spooky Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog Treats 🎃
These Halloween-themed dog treats are sure to be a hit with your furry friends! Made with wholesome ingredients, they’re a healthy and tasty snack for your pup to enjoy during the spooky season.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
- 1/4 cup natural peanut butter (ensure it contains no xylitol)
- 2 eggs
- 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (or oat flour for a gluten-free option)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, and eggs. Mix until smooth.
- Add the Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour and cinnamon (if using) to the wet mixture. Stir until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour.
- Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Cut Out Shapes: Use Halloween-themed cookie cutters (like pumpkins, ghosts, or bats) to cut out shapes from the dough. Place the shapes onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the treats are firm and lightly golden.
- Cool: Allow the treats to cool completely on a wire rack before serving them to your dog.
- Store: Store the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.
Note:
Always check with your vet if you’re introducing new ingredients to your dog’s diet, especially if they have allergies or sensitivities.
