Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/3 cup natural creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 cups flour, plus more for rolling

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Prepare Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, shredded carrots, natural creamy peanut butter, cinnamon, beaten egg, and 2 cups of flour. Beat the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and form a dough.
  3. Roll and Cut: Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and transfer the dough onto it. Roll the dough out evenly to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use dog-friendly cookie cutters to cut out treat shapes and place them carefully on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake Treats: Bake the cutouts in the preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden, indicating they are cooked and ready for your dog to enjoy.

Notes

  • Ensure natural peanut butter does not contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
  • Store treats in an airtight container for up to two weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
  • Adjust thickness of treats depending on desired chewiness; thicker treats will be softer and thinner treats crispier.
