Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups Whole Wheat Flour (or Gluten-Free Dog-Safe Blend) Measure and sift if desired for a lighter texture
  • 0.5 cup 100% Pure Pumpkin Puree (not pie filling) Ensure it's plain canned pumpkin
  • 0.5 cup Natural Peanut Butter (xylitol-free) Always check the label to ensure no xylitol
  • 2 Large Eggs Lightly beat before adding
  • 0.25 cup Water (or unsweetened plain yogurt) Use plain, unsweetened yogurt for an extra probiotic boost

Equipment

  • - Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • Cookie Cutters (optional)
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, natural peanut butter, and lightly beaten eggs. Stir until they are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

  3. Gradually add the whole wheat flour (or dog-safe blend) to the wet ingredients. Mix until a stiff dough forms. If the dough seems too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it comes together. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour.
    1.5 cups Whole Wheat Flour (or Gluten-Free Dog-Safe Blend)
  4. Lightly flour a clean surface and turn out the dough. Gently roll the dough to about ½-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters in your desired shapes or simply slice into small squares.
  5. Place the cut treats onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are firm and lightly golden brown. The treats should be hard to the touch but not burnt.
  7. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the treats cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This allows them to fully harden.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 7-10 days, or freeze for up to 2-3 months. Consult vet before introducing new treats.
