Homemade Puppy Training Treats
Description
This recipe mixes whole wheat flour, eggs, and pumpkin puree with peanut butter to form a dough that is rolled out between an eighth and a quarter inch thick and cut into small squares for bite-sized treats. Baking at 350°F until firm creates a crunchy texture that dogs can easily chew without crumbling excessively. The pumpkin adds moisture and a mild sweetness while peanut butter contributes flavor and binding properties.
The treats are made without additives or preservatives, focusing on simple pantry ingredients. Their crunchy finish makes them suitable for training sessions where small, manageable treats are needed repeatedly. Because they are baked until crisp, they keep well when stored properly.
The notes emphasize cooling the treats fully before storing to maintain their texture and recommend using an airtight container. They are best used within two weeks to ensure freshness.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 egg large
- 2/3 cup pumpkin canned or fresh, puree
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Add all the ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment, mix until combined. If it's a little dry, add some water. If it's wet, add a little more flour.
- Knead the dough together on a clean surface and roll it out really thin (between 1/8-1/4 inch thick).
- Cut squares and continue rolling/cutting until all the dough has been used. Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes. It may take longer to bake them until crunchy, depending on how thin/thick you rolled the dough and the size of the treats.
Notes
- Ensure treats are completely cooled before storing to keep them crunchy.
- Store in an airtight container and use within two weeks for best quality.
- Adjust water or flour slightly during mixing to achieve a workable dough consistency.
- Roll dough thinly (1/8 to 1/4 inch) for even baking and proper crunch.
