I enjoy making healthy dog treats almost as much as making “people” cookies. These new peanut butter and pumpkin-flavored dog treats are so good that dogs love every bite. In fact, this recipe might be their new favorite.
I bet you already have these simple ingredients in your kitchen:
- Eggs
- Peanut butter ~ preferably without added salt and sugar
- Canned pumpkin puree
- Flour
- Cinnamon
- Ginger
- Salt
- Honey ~ optional
- Water
Cookie cutters aren’t required, but they are fun to use. Rolling out the dough and cutting square shapes is an option, too, especially if you are short on time. Your furry canine friends will love these peanut butter & pumpkin treats in any shape or form.
I used two sizes of cookie cutters because we have a large Labrador, and my daughter and son-in-law have a smaller Cockapoo. All pups love getting a reward!
Peanut Butter & Pumpkin Dog Treats 35 Cookies depending on size
1 cup peanut butter, unsalted natural, is preferred ~ either crunchy or creamy
2 LG eggs
1/2 cup pumpkin puree, not pie filling
1/2 cup water
2 cups of flour, whole wheat is preferred. I used 1 cup of whole wheat and one cup of unbleached white flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp salt
1 Tbsp honey, this is optional
Preheat oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add peanut butter, eggs, pumpkin, water, and optional honey. Mix well.
Add flour and spices. Stir to combine all ingredients.
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 1 minute. Divide dough into 4 portions.
Roll one portion of dough into a circle about 1/4 inch – 3/8 inch thick on a floured surface.
Use cookie cutters to cut out the dog treats and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 1/2 inch apart.
Bake dog treats for about 15 minutes. Let treats cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Store peanut butter & pumpkin dog treats in an airtight container for 1 -2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
We give our Labrador these treats right out of the freezer.
