Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) unsalted peanut butter (no xylitol)
Flour Ingredients:
- 1 cup (120 grams) oat flour
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) whole wheat flour
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 350°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal dog treat preparation.
- Combine pumpkin purée, peanut butter, both oat and whole wheat flours, and egg in a mixing bowl, stirring until the ingredients form a cohesive, smooth mixture.
- Dust a clean work surface with a light coating of flour and gently roll the dough to a uniform 1/4-inch thickness, ensuring consistent baking.
- Utilize a cookie cutter or kitchen knife to shape the dough into bite-sized squares or fun shapes that will appeal to canine companions.
- Carefully transfer the cut treats onto the lined baking sheet, positioning them with slight spacing to promote even heating.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, watching for a golden-brown color and firm texture that indicates complete cooking.
- Remove the treats from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack, ensuring they reach room temperature before offering to your furry friend.
Notes
- Select natural, unsweetened peanut butter without xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
- Choose organic pumpkin purée without added sugars or spices to maintain canine health.
- Opt for whole wheat and oat flour to provide extra fiber and nutrition for your furry friend.
- Adjust baking time based on your dog’s size and treat thickness to prevent burning or undercooking.
