Ingredients
  

  • 1 ripe banana mashed
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree plain, unsweetened
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt unsweetened
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter xylitol-free
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon optional

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Measuring cups
  • 1 Measuring spoons
  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 Parchment paper
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 Dog bone cookie cutter (optional)

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 mashed banana, pumpkin puree, yogurt, and peanut butter. Mix until smooth.
  3. Add the egg to the mixture and stir well until fully incorporated.
  4. Gradually add the whole wheat flour and cinnamon (if using) to the mixture, stirring until a dough forms. You may need to use your hands to combine everything thoroughly.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Use a dog bone cookie cutter or any shape you prefer to cut out cookies, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown.
  8. Remove the treats from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving them to your pup.

Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store these treats in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze the cookies for up to 3 months. Remember, these are occasional treats and should be given in moderation. Always consult with your veterinarian if your dog has any health concerns or dietary restrictions.
Variations:
- Substitute oat flour for whole wheat flour for a gluten-free option.
- Add 1/4 cup of finely chopped carrots for extra nutrition.
- Mix in a tablespoon of flaxseed for added omega-3 fatty acids.
- Use sweet potato puree instead of pumpkin for a different flavor.
