Homemade Peanut Butter Pumpkin Dog Treats
Description
This recipe crafts dog treats by combining canned pumpkin puree (not pie filling), all-natural peanut butter, oats, eggs, and whole wheat or appropriate grain-free flours to form a dough. Rolled to half-inch thickness and cut with cookie cutters, the dough bakes at 350 degrees until golden brown and firm, then cools to harden further. These treats offer dogs a wholesome snack without artificial additives or unsafe spices.
The slightly sticky dough requires dusting hands and rolling pins with flour for easier handling. The finished treats are sturdy and can be stored in sealed containers at room temperature or refrigerated, with optional freezing for longer storage.
Substitution options are provided to accommodate grain-free diets, and only use all-natural peanut butter to avoid harmful ingredients. Homemade pumpkin puree is an alternative to canned, but avoid pumpkin pie filling due to spices.
Ingredients
- 15 ounces pumpkin puree 1 can) do not use pumpkin pie filling, canned
- 2 egg
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter all natural
- 1/2 cup oats
- 3 cups whole wheat flour brown rice flour or gluten free flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin and peanut butter until combined. Add oats and flour and stir well until dough forms.
- The dough may be a little sticky, so dust your hands and rolling pin with flour. Pour dough onto a floured surface and roll out to 1/2 inch thick. Cut out using a cookie cutter. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown.
- Place on cooling racks and let cool thoroughly. They will harden as they cool.
Notes
- If your dog needs grain-free treats, substitute the oats with an extra 1/4 cup of grain-free or gluten-free flour.
- Use only all-natural peanut butter without added sugars or salts to keep treats safe for dogs.
- Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or refrigerate for up to 1 month.
- Freeze treats for up to 6 months in freezer-safe bags with air pressed out to maintain freshness.
- Do not use pumpkin pie filling; use plain pumpkin puree without additives.
