Dog Pumpkin Treats

Your dogs will be begging for more of these healthy pumpkin treats! I have been making these for my family’s dogs for a while now and recently started making them for my new puppy, Pearl.

Clearly, she was beyond excited about these treats! They are so easy to make and are healthy for your pups. You can technically eat these as well, but they probably won’t taste great since they do not contain sugar. Side note: they will make your house smell amazing while they’re baking!

INGREDIENTS

• Whole wheat flour – A great choice for dog treats since it is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
• Oats – Adds texture to the treats and provides fiber, vitamins, and minerals. I used quick oats.
• Salt – Salt in moderation is a necessary electrolyte for dogs like it is for humans.
• Cinnamon – Contains anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Egg -Binds the treats together and is a great source of protein.
• Canned pumpkin – Make sure to use 100% pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling, which contains added spices and sugar. Pumpkin is a good source of vitamins and fiber and aids in digestion.
• Peanut butter – I prefer to use natural peanut butter with no added sugar since sugar can make dogs sick. A small amount is used in these treats to add flavor and provides protein and healthy fats.

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour

• 1 cup oats

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1 egg

• 1 15-ounce can pure pumpkin

• 3 tablespoons peanut butter

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350F.
• In a stand mixer, whisk together the whole wheat flour, oats, salt, and cinnamon.
• Add in the egg, pumpkin, and peanut butter and mix well using the paddle attachment.
• Sprinkle some of the flour on a clean surface and roll the dough to about 3/8″ thickness. I used a 1 1/4″ cupcake corer to cut out the treats, but any cookie cutter will do.
• Place on a lined baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes. The treats will be hard and biscuit-like.

Notes

• The treats can be stored in an airtight container in the pantry for up to a week, or for about 1 month in the refrigerator.
