Pumpkin Dog Treats Recipe
Description
The Pumpkin Dog Treats Recipe combines creamy peanut butter and pumpkin puree with both all-purpose and whole wheat flours, resulting in a dough that is rolled and cut into shaped treats. Baking at 375°F develops firm edges while maintaining a chewable texture. The inclusion of baking powder helps the treats bake evenly without rising too much. The egg yolk binds the ingredients, enhancing the structure. These treats are designed specifically for dogs, using safe ingredients and no added sugars or spices that could be harmful.
The recipe involves mixing pumpkin, peanut butter, and egg, then gradually adding a dry flour mixture. The dough is dry and is rolled out to about ¼ inch thickness before cutting. Baking times vary based on size, with smaller treats baked for 20 minutes and larger ones for 25 minutes. Letting the treats cool completely is important before giving them to pets.
These treats store well in an airtight container for up to two weeks, making batch preparation practical. The recipe emphasizes checking peanut butter ingredients to avoid xylitol, which is toxic to dogs, reflecting care in ingredient safety.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup pumpkin puree
- ½ cup peanut butter creamy
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl using an electric mixer, stir together pumpkin, peanut butter, and egg yolk until completely combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flours and baking powder.
- Gradually add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture until completely combined (dough will be quite dry).
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and roll out to approximately ¼″ thickness.
- Use cookie cutters to cut shapes out of dough and transfer cut out cookies to prepared cookie sheet, placing at least 1″ apart.
- Re-combine any dough scraps and re-roll and then cut out to use all of your dough.
- Bake cookies on 375°F for 20 minutes for small cookies and 25 minutes for large cookies.
- Allow to cool completely before sharing with your pet.
- Keep uneaten cookies in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Notes
