Nutrition Facts: calories 132 kcal, Carbohydrate 15 g, Protein 5 g, Fat 7 g, Saturated Fat 1 g, Cholesterol 8 mg, Sodium 56 mg, Fiber 2 g, Sugar 3 g, servingSize 1 treat, Trans Fat 0.001 g, unSaturated Fat 5 g

Ingredients:

• 2½ cups whole wheat flour (300 grams (see note))
• 1 large egg (50 grams)
• 1 cup peanut butter (270 grams (see note))
• 1 cup water (227 grams)
• 2 tablespoons honey (43 grams (see note))
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter (34 grams)
• 1 tablespoon honey (21 grams)
• ⅓ cup cornstarch (37 grams (can also use potato starch or arrowroot powder))
• 3-4 tablespoons hot water (43-57 grams)

Instruction:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour and the egg. Add the peanut butter, water, and honey, and stir until you have a stiff dough. The dough becomes very firm and sticky. You may need to use your hands, or the paddle attachment on your mixer.
3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough about ½-inch thick and use a cookie cutter to make fun shapes. The treats barely spread and rise, so get creative with your shapes.
4. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden. Once done, set aside to cool. (If you have smaller cookies, use less time, otherwise the bottom might burn.)
5. To make the frosting, combine the peanut butter and honey in a microwavable bowl, and heat in the microwave in 15 second increments, stirring in between, until melted.
6. Add the melted peanut butter mixture to the cornstarch and stir until just combined.
7. Slowly add in the water 1 tablespoon at a time until you have reached the consistency that you would like. For a thinner frosting, add more water.
8. Add the frosting to a piping bag and pipe designs on top of each dog treat.
9. Frost the treats with the peanut butter/honey mixture for an even more tempting cookie.

Nutrition Facts: servingSize 1 dog treat, calories 40 kcal, Carbohydrate 5 g, Protein 1 g, Fat 2 g, Saturated Fat 1 g, Sodium 15 mg, Fiber 1 g, Sugar 1 g, unSaturated Fat 2 g

Ingredients:

• 2 cups oats (old fashioned, 1-minute oats, or instant) (plus more if needed- see step 3)
• 2 medium ripe bananas
• 1/2 cup natural peanut butter

Instruction:

1. Preheat your oven to 300F (150C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Add the oats to a food processor and grind until they reach a fine powder. (If you do not have a food processor, see the recipe notes for other options). Add the bananas and peanut butter and blend until a sticky dough is formed.
3. Remove from the food processor and roll out on a lightly floured surface. (Use whole wheat flour, more ground oats, or another dog-safe flour that you have on hand). I used a heart cookie cutter to cut out the treats but you could use any cookie cutter, or just cut them into squares with a knife or pizza cutter.
4. Lay the treats on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the treats are puffed up a bit, dry and dark brown on the bottoms, (they will still feel soft when first removed from the oven). The treats will get a bit more firm once they are cool but will still be a slightly softer dog treat. Let cool before giving one to your pup. Store in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or I like to store them in my freezer which makes them firmer and makes them stay fresh a long time.

Homemade Peanut Butter Pumpkin Dog Treats

Homemade Peanut Butter Pumpkin Dog Treats are so simple to make and let you control what your dog is eating. Just 4 ingredients – peanut butter, pumpkin, whole wheat flour, and eggs. Such an easy recipe to make doggy cookies that your furry best friend will love.

Prep: 15min

Total: 40min

Yield: 40

Serving Size: 1 treat

Nutrition Facts: servingSize 1 treat, calories 38 calories, Sugar 0.4 g, Sodium 9.1 mg, Fat 1.1 g, Saturated Fat 0.2 g, Trans Fat 0 g, Carbohydrate 6.2 g, Fiber 1 g, Protein 1.6 g, Cholesterol 9.3 mg

Ingredients:

• 1 cup pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling
• 3 tablespoons peanut butter, dog safe
• 2 eggs
• 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, plus additional as needed

Instruction:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
2. Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a hand mixer and a large bowl, beat the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, and eggs on medium-high until combined. This will take 1-2 minutes. Reduce speed to low, and slowly add the flour, mixing until just incorporated. If needed, add additional flour until the dough is not sticky and the texture of cookie dough (this depends on the moisture level of your peanut butter and pumpkin).
3. On a lightly floured surface, gently knead and press the dough together a few times until it comes together. Roll the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes and place on prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake until the edges are golden brown and fully set. About 20-30 minutes, depending on size and thickness. I’ve found that my dog prefers treats to be crunchy and hard vs chewy. So you will bake these treats longer than you would ‘human cookies’. When done, they should look well past set, but not burnt. But bake them according to your dog’s preference.
5. Allow to fully cool – the treats will crisp up once they cool.
