Dog Treat Ingredients
- 1 cup all-natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup 100% pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
Instructions
- Preheat and Combine Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In the bowl of a food processor or blender, pulse together the peanut butter, pumpkin puree, eggs, oat flour, and whole wheat flour until a thick, paste-like dough forms.
- Shape the Dough: Press the dough evenly into a pre-shaped baking pan or roll it out between two sheets of wax paper. Use cookie cutters to cut the dough into desired shapes for your dog treats.
- Bake the Treats: Bake the treats in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes. After 20 minutes, the treats will be browned and crispy on the outside but still soft inside. For a fully crunchy texture throughout, bake a little longer until desired doneness is achieved.
- Cool and Store: Allow the treats to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, transfer them to an airtight container to keep fresh until serving.
Notes
- Ensure the peanut butter used does not contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
- Use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid added sugars and spices harmful to dogs.
- Store treats in an airtight container and use within 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
- If your dog has allergies, substitute flours accordingly, for example using rice flour instead of whole wheat.
