Peanut Butter and Pumpkin Dog Treats
Description
This dog treat recipe blends whole wheat flour with creamy peanut butter, pumpkin, and cinnamon, producing a thick dough that can be rolled out and cut with cookie cutters. Vegetable or meat stock is added to help bind the dough. Baking at 350°F until golden brown creates treats that are firm and crunchy, providing dogs with satisfying chewiness.
The ingredients are selected for their dog-friendly qualities, with pumpkin offering digestive benefits and peanut butter adding flavor and healthy fats. Cinnamon is included for mild seasoning safe in small amounts.
These treats are best stored in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch. The baking time varies with treat size, so monitoring is important to achieve the right texture without burning.
Caution is advised to ensure peanut butter does not contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ¼ cup pumpkin
- ¼ cup vegetable stock or chicken or beef stock
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Combine flour, peanut butter, pumpkin and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Add stock and stir until well-combined. The dough will be thick.
- Once combined, use your hands to press the dough into a ball. Place dough ball on a flat service (with a sprinkle of flour if needed) and roll out evenly with a rolling pin. Dough should be about ¼ inch thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut the dough into desired shape and place on ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake for 18+ minutes or until golden brown and hard to the touch. The baking time will vary based on the the size of the treats.
- Store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Confirm that the peanut butter used does not contain xylitol, as it is poisonous to dogs.
- Baking time varies depending on the size and thickness of the treats; ensure they are golden and firm before removing.
- Store treats in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crunchy.
