  • Total Time: 30-35 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 4 servings (depending on treat size, yields about 30-40 small to medium treats)
  • Category: Dog Treats
  • Method: Baking
  • Cuisine: Pet Cuisine

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree (about 1/2 of a 15 oz. can)
  • 3/4 cup smooth peanut butter (ensure it does not contain xylitol or birch sugar)

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups whole wheat flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the treats.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, beat the two eggs until smooth. Add the pumpkin puree and peanut butter, stirring until the mixture is thoroughly combined.
  3. Add Flour: Gradually add the whole wheat flour in 1/2 cup increments, mixing well each time until the dough is fully combined and no longer sticky.
  4. Form Dough: Shape the dough into a ball and remove it from the bowl.
  5. Roll Out Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the dough out to approximately 1/4 inch thickness using a rolling pin. Cut into desired shapes using cookie cutters or a knife.
  6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the cut shapes evenly on an ungreased baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.
  7. Bake Treats: Bake in the preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes if making small to medium-sized treats. Larger treats can bake up to 25 minutes—monitor closely to prevent overbaking.
  8. Cool Completely: Remove the treats from the oven and allow them to cool completely before serving to your dog.
  9. Storage: Store the cooled treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two months, or freeze them to keep longer.

Notes

  • Ensure the peanut butter used does not contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
  • Use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling which contains sugars and spices harmful to dogs.
  • Adjust thickness and baking time depending on the size and type of treats desired.
  • Store treats properly to maintain freshness and avoid spoilage.
