Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée (unsweetened) Use plain canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
  • 1.5 cups rolled oats Can be ground for a finer texture.
  • 0.5 cup whole wheat flour Can substitute with oat flour or rice flour for wheat sensitivities.
  • 1 large egg Acts as a binder and adds protein.
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional) Adds mild sweetness; avoid for diabetic dogs or consult a vet.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, egg, and honey (if using) until smooth.
  3. Stir in the rolled oats and whole wheat flour until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms. Add more flour or oats if it's too wet.
  4. Lightly flour a work surface and roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into small shapes using cutters or a knife.
  5. Arrange the shapes on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
Baking
  1. Bake for 20–25 minutes until the edges are firm and the tops look slightly golden. Bake longer for crunchier treats.
  2. Let the treats cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature, up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator, or freeze for up to 3 months. Ensure treats are completely cool before sealing.
