Peanut Butter Pumpkin Dog Treats

By AzWench

Show Fido how much you love him by making him his own homemade dog treats! On a special diet? No problem, you can substitute different flours to make them grain free.

Ingredients

• 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup oats (optional if your dog is on a grain free diet)
• 3 cups whole wheat flour, brown rice flour, or gluten free flour
• 3 tablespoon of all natural peanut butter
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In small bowl, stir together the flour, oats, and cinnamon.

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin and peanut butter until combined. Stir wet ingredients into dry.

Pour onto a floured surface and roll dough out to 1/2 thick. Cut out using cookie cutter. The dough will be a little sticky, a dusting of flour for your hands and the rolling pin will help!

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown.

Place on cooling racks and let cool thoroughly. They will harden as they cool.

Notes: *Cinnamon is fine to use in recipes for dogs, however do not use a pumpkin spice blend or anything that could contain nutmeg. It is toxic to dogs and even in small amounts can make them sick.
