Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup all-natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup 100% pumpkin puree
- 2 large eggs
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dog treats evenly.
- Mix Ingredients: In the bowl of a food processor or blender, combine the peanut butter, pumpkin puree, eggs, oat flour, and whole wheat flour. Pulse until the mixture forms a thick, paste-like dough.
- Shape 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 out desired shapes for your dog treats.
- Bake Treats: Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes. For a softer treat, bake for 20 minutes to achieve a browned exterior with a soft interior. For crunchier treats, bake longer until fully crisped through.
- Cool and Store: Remove the baking pan from the oven and allow the treats to cool completely. Transfer the cooled dog treats to an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Ensure the peanut butter used does not contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
- Pumpkin puree adds fiber and promotes digestive health for dogs.
- Oat flour is a great gluten-free flour alternative that’s gentle on dog’s stomachs.
- Adjust baking time depending on whether you prefer soft or crunchy treats.
- Store treats in an airtight container to preserve freshness for up to two weeks.
