Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree plain, unsweetened
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter no xylitol
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup oats old-fashioned or quick oats
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup water may need more
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon optional, in small amounts

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 Parchment paper
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 Cookie cutters
  • 1 Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, and egg. Mix until well blended.
  3. Gradually add the whole wheat flour and oats to the mixture. Stir until a dough starts to form.
  4. If the dough is too dry, add water a tablespoon at a time until it reaches a workable consistency.
  5. Lightly flour your countertop and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and firm.
  8. Remove the treats from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store the cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze for up to three months. Remember, these are treats, not a complete diet, so feed sparingly and check with your veterinarian if your dog has any specific health needs.
Variations:
- Substitute half of the peanut butter with unsweetened applesauce for a different flavor profile.
- Add a tablespoon of honey for a touch of sweetness (ensure your dog is over one year old).
- Incorporate mashed sweet potato instead of pumpkin for a different twist on the flavor.
