Yes, you can substitute regular all-purpose flour for the whole wheat. Although whole wheat flour is more nutritious for your pup.

Yes, dogs can eat both pumpkin and peanut butter. Most dogs LOVE the flavor of peanut butter – but it is higher in fat and calories which is why this recipe only uses a few tablespoons. Pumpkin is considered a superfood for dogs and is known to help with digestion.

Pumpkin dog treats dont need to be refrigerated, but they will last longer in the fridge than at room temperature so its recommended if youre not using them up within a week.

Most homemade baked dog treats will keep for around one week at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 2. The harder and crispier your homemade dog treats are, the longer they will stay fresh.

They can be kept at room temperature for 5-7 days or in the fridge for 1-2 weeks. But they can be frozen for up to 3 months. I like to leave a few out and then freeze the rest.

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

3. Lightly dust the counter and a rolling pin with flour, then roll out dough to approximately 1/8″ and cut out treats.
4. Lay on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 20 minutes.

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instruction:

3. Add a little bit of water to help moisten the ingredients, then you will be able to work and knead the dough. Only add a tablespoon or so as you go. You want the dough to end up being a dry and thick consistency.
4. Flour your countertop and roll the dough out to be about a ½ inch thick. Use your cookie cutters to cut out individual treats and place on a greased baking sheet. You don’t need to separate them a ton, they don’t rise much.
5. You will have left over dough after cutting out the first batch of treats. Quickly knead and roll out the dough left over dough to make even more!
6. Bake for about 35 minutes or until hard. Serve to your fur-baby! They will be living their best doggy life!

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.
