Ingredients
- 1 cup pure pumpkin puree (unsweetened, not spiced pumpkin pie mix)
- 1 cup oat flour (can substitute with whole wheat flour, almond flour, or chickpea flour depending on your dog’s dietary needs)
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking your dog treats to a golden brown.
- Mix the Pumpkin and Flour: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree with the oat flour. Stir with a spoon or spatula until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms. Adjust by adding more flour if too wet, or more pumpkin if too dry.
- Roll Out the Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the dough out to about ¼-inch thickness using a rolling pin. Alternatively, you can form small dough balls with your hands.
- Cut into Shapes: Use cookie cutters to cut the dough into fun shapes like dog bones or hearts. If cookie cutters are not available, simply cut into small squares or create patterns with a knife.
- Bake: Place the shaped dough pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25 minutes, or until the treats turn golden brown and feel firm to the touch.
Notes
- Use oat flour for a gluten-free option that’s gentle on your dog’s stomach and high in fiber.
- Whole wheat flour can be used but might be harsher on sensitive dogs.
- Almond or chickpea flours are great grain-free alternatives for dogs with specific dietary restrictions.
- Always ensure treats are cooled completely before giving to your dog.
- Store treats in an airtight container for up to two weeks or freeze for longer storage.
