Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed banana, pumpkin puree, and peanut butter. Mix until smooth.
- Add the egg to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the whole wheat flour and cinnamon (if using) to the mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
- Lightly flour your countertop and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the treats are lightly golden around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and allow the treats to cool completely on a wire rack before serving them to your dog.
Notes
Storage & Reheating:
Store these treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, you can keep them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Always remember that these are occasional snacks and should be given in moderation. If your dog has any health issues or allergies, consult with your veterinarian before introducing new treats. Variations:
- Substitute pumpkin with sweet potato for a different flavor.
- Add a tablespoon of plain yogurt to the mix for added creaminess.
- Incorporate 1/4 cup of finely chopped apples (without seeds) for extra sweetness.
- Try using oat flour instead of whole wheat flour for a gluten-free option.
