Pumpkin Peanut Butter Puppy Treats!

Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog TreatsIf you follow me on instagram you know how much I love my pups! All three of my rescue dogs seem to do best on a fairly natural diet and on treats that don’t have a lot of preservatives or other unnatural ingredients.

These treats were fairly easy, and I was able to use my fun Virginia shaped cookie cutter! While homemade treats will not last as long as store bought treats in most occasions, I was able to store these for weeks in a ziplock bag, and they went pretty fast with three pooches around!

 

 

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup of all natural peanut butter
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a bowl, stir together the flour and cinnamon
  3. Add in eggs, pumpkin puree, and peanut butter until well combined.
  4. Pour onto a floured surface and roll dough out to desired thickness, I believe mine were about 1/4 of an inch. The thicker the cookie the longer the cook time.
  5. Cut out desired shapes using cookie cutter or knife.
  6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until browned
  7. Place on cooling racks and let cool thoroughly.
  8. They will harden as they cool.
