Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (unsweetened, xylitol-free)
  • 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 cup water (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and peanut butter, mixing well until smooth. Gradually add the whole wheat flour and cinnamon, stirring to form a dough. If the dough feels too dry to handle, add water a tablespoon at a time until it comes together into a workable dough.
  3. Roll and Cut: On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out shapes, then place the cutouts carefully onto the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake: Bake the treats in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown. Once baked, transfer the treats to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely before giving them to your dog.

Notes

  • Ensure the peanut butter used is xylitol-free, as xylitol is toxic to dogs.
  • Adjust water quantity as needed based on dough consistency.
  • Store treats in an airtight container for up to two weeks or refrigerate to extend freshness.
  • The optional cinnamon adds flavor but can be omitted if your dog has sensitivities.
  • These treats are soft, making them ideal for puppies or dogs with dental issues.
