How to make the best pumpkin treats for dogs
With just four easy ingredients needed, this easy dog treat recipe is a breeze to make!
Step 1: Mix the ingredients
Add the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, and eggs to a large mixing bowl and mix until fully combined.
Step 2: add the flour
Add in 1 cup of flour and mix until combined. Add in another cup of the flour and mix until a doughy mixture forms.
Step 3: knead the dough
Knead the dough by hand and add the remaining flour as needed, until the dough reaches a soft, but not sticky or crumbly consistency.
Step 4: Put the dough on a prepared surface
Lay out a large piece of parchment paper and sprinkle lightly with flour before dumping the dough onto the prepared surface.
Step 5: Roll out the dough
Roll out with a rolling pin to about ¼-inch thickness.
Step 6: Cut out the cookies
Cut out as many cookies as you can with your cookie cutter (I used the bone) and set them aside on a cookie sheet or similar dish.
Step 7: add the air fryer
Line the bottom of your air fryer with parchment paper and place as many treats as you can, in the bottom, without them touching. I was able to fit 6-7 at a time in my particular air fryer.
Step 8: Cook
Cook at 370 degrees for 4-5 Minutes or until just lightly browned on the top. Remove and let cool for a few minutes before feeding to your pooch!
Step 9: repeat
Repeat until all treats are done. Store in an airtight container away from moisture and heat.
What peanut butter should I use to make dog treats?
You need to be sure that you’re using natural peanut butter and that it has NO xylitol in it and no added sugar.
Can I make these treats crispy?
You can. If you want them to have a crunch, just increase the cooking time by 3 minutes. Just watch so that they don’t burn.
How do I store homemade dog treats?
Store the treats in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for the best results.
What is the difference between canned pumpkin and puree?
You need to be sure that the pumpkin that you’re buying is actually pumpkin! Sometimes pumpkin in a can isn’t even pumpkin at all – but squash.
