Homemade Dog Treats (Peanut Butter and Pumpkin)

AWESOME TREATS!! I changed the pumpkin amount from 1/2 cup to 1 full heaping cup and it did the trick! My dough was PERFECT! I kept the cinnamon (I FEEL IT IS IMPORTANT) I made smaller cookies so I left them in for only 15 minutes. They came out golden brown and smelling YUMMY! My dogs ate them up!

Had to tweak it slightly as my pugs are allergic to chicken including eggs. Since I did not use eggs and subbed with Apple Sauce no sugar and I changed from whole wheat flour to 1 1/2cups Brown rice flour and 1 cup Tapioca flour. Also since I was making it without eggs I used the whole can of pumpkin and 3 Tbl spoons of fresh ground peanut butter from Sprouts to avoid any sweeteners that dogs cannot eat. The dough came out perfect for smashing into silicone molds with a scraper. My pugs are not a fan of cinnamon so I left that out as well, they do like Chicory root so will use that in the next batch. Baked it in silicone molds for 40 min then let them cool enough to pop out of molds and let them completely air dry inside the oven as it cooled to remove any excess moisture. Smashing hit and replaces expensive all natural dog treats that use preservatives like Tocopherol. Only used a 1/3 of the dough and vacuum sealed and froze the rest so I can bake 1 batch a week for 3 weeks.

Great basic recipe for treats. I've been making homemade treats for years.. this is about as quick and easy as it gets. I made a big batch... A 15oz can of pumpkin and about 1 cup of natural peanut butter. Substituting brown rice flour due to wheat allergies. (Tip... Save $ by using uncooked Rice or oatmeal processed in a blender or food processor rather than paying big bucks for store bought rice or oat flour.) 2 eggs including shells, also processed in the blender. Added some turmeric and vitamins, cinnamon, and baked 30 min at 350 then turned the oven off, leaving them in the oven to cool down. An hour later they were crunchy and my 3 Schnauzers were lined up waiting to taste test them... A real keeper !

To make sure the cookie is crunchy, I add steel cut oats. This also helps in the next process. After cooking, I put them in my dehydrator, for 6 hours on 350. It draws ALL the moisture out of the cookie, making them crisp and crunchy. Plus, they last for months and months.

My dog LOVED these. I used silicone bone molds (the tiny bone ones) so I had to make a wetter sough. I added plain kefir. Doubled the amount of pumpkin based on Sarah's review & Baked for 40 minutes. Perfection. Also, I totally overbaked one batch, and guess who didn't care? The dog! She snarfed 'em down. No refund requested. To the person who said cinnamon is toxic to dogs: This recipe has 1/2 a tsp for the ENTIRE batch! You'd have to feed your dog more than 2 entire batches to get close to toxic levels. I think the dog would have issues than cinnamon after eating 5 cups of flour.

I have been making this for a few years.I had to change the recipe by omitting the eggs because my granddaughter can't eat or handle egg products because she is allergic. I replaced the 2 eggs with chia seeds. I add 2 tbsp of chia seed with 6 tbsp of water and let the seeds sit in a bowl with the water and when I'm done adding all the ingredients I mix in the seeds. They come out just as good as if I used eggs!

I used 3 small local eggs instead of water. The outcome is better. Doesn't make the paper so wet. Threw a little wheat flour on surface like making biscuits. Great time saver . Btw, if you try to make more than you need, moisture comes into play on any recipes. Also, my husband dipped one in peanut butter and loved it !!

These treats were a big hit with my dogs. I added an extra cup of wheat flour, and one little container of unsweetened applesauce, along with about 4 tablespoons of organic milled, flax and Chia blend for extra nutrition, and then put them in little molds and baked them that way.

Added 1 ripe banana and 1 cup of sugar free applesauce. 45 minutes to crunchy perfection. Its the only treat I give my St. Bernard.

Super easy recipe to follow and make. I increased the pumpkin to one full cup and peanut butter to three tablespoons. I also used a tablespoon of apple sauce with three additional tablespoons of flour. Perfect dough texture. Our three dogs love the treats!!! Yay!!

I love this recepie use it all the time. I add extra natural crunchy peanut butter and some honey. My dog goes crazy. She literally sits by the oven to wait. I put oven at 300 for a slow Bake

All 7 dogs LOVED them!

Made these dog cookies in the past my dog loved them Won’t eat store bought dog biscuits only homemade ones

It was fun but messy I recommend it but make sure you do it over like a trash bag have not tried it yet but can't wait!!!

I added chia and a little sprinkle of oats my dogs are really picky with dog treats. I've spent $$$ on treats they turned their nose up to. But they love these biscuits! Cheaper to make you can add blueberries, spinach, cranberries and it fresh, natural my dogs love them!

Been making these for about 3 years now. My girls absolutely love them. Put a weeks worth in baggies then all go into lrg baggie and into freezer. Take a bag per week out. I usually make about a months worth(48). Never had them go bad

They were very easy to make and I could not keep my dogs out of the kitchen while they were baking.

My mini boxer absolutely loves these..I add a pinch of tumeric for his blood and also add crushed egg shells

My Baxter is extremely finicky and very particular about what he eats. A friend recommended I try these and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve now made him his sixth batch. I found they get moldy within a week so I now put them in a sealed container in the refrigerator and they last two weeks before it’s time to make them again. I’m so grateful for this recipe and that I know all the ingredients in it. Highly recommend

I’m obsessed — so good!
