Pumpkin Dog Treats
Description
These Pumpkin Dog Treats use whole wheat flour, eggs, canned pumpkin, peanut butter, salt, and cinnamon to create a dough that is initially stiff and crumbly. Gradually adding water helps form a rollable dough that can be cut into individual shapes with cookie cutters. Baking at 350°F until hard produces crunchy, durable treats designed to be enjoyed by dogs.
The flavor includes the mild sweetness of pumpkin and the warm spiciness of cinnamon, balanced with peanut butter, a common dog treat favorite. The recipe avoids ingredients unsafe for dogs and uses simple, wholesome components.
The treats don’t rise much, so spacing on the baking sheet is not critical. Leftover dough can be quickly re-rolled for more treats. Once fully cooled, these crunchy treats provide a homemade alternative to commercial dog snacks.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 large egg
- 1/2 cup pumpkin canned
- 2 tbsp peanut butter avoid any peanut butter that contains the sweetener Xylitol, natural
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- In a large bowl, mix together eggs, cinnamon, pumpkin, flour, salt and peanut butter. This mixture will become stiff, dry and crumbly really quickly when first mixing.
- Add a little bit of water to help moisten the ingredients, then you will be able to work and knead the dough. Only add a tablespoon or so as you go. You want the dough to end up being a dry and thick consistency.
- Flour your countertop and roll the dough out to be about a ½ inch thick. Use your cookie cutters to cut out individual treats and place on a greased baking sheet. You don’t need to separate them a ton, they don’t rise much.
- You will have left over dough after cutting out the first batch of treats. Quickly knead and roll out the dough left over dough to make even more!
- Bake for about 35 minutes or until hard. Serve to your fur-baby! They will be living their best doggy life!
