Pumpkin Dog Treat Recipe with Flaxseed
These homemade pumpkin dog treats with flaxseed are soft and chewy, with pumpkin puree, peanut butter, applesauce, and oats. An easy recipe for treating your pup to something special from your kitchen!
Equipment
- Baking or cookie sheets
- Mixing bowls
- Hand-held mixer or whisk
- Spatula for mixing
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree or freshly cooked pumpkin not pie filling
- ¼ cup Peanut butter no added sugar or salt, no xylitol
- 1 large Egg
- ½ cup Beef broth low sodium
- ½ cup Applesauce, no added sugar plain, no added sugar
- 2 cups Oat flour
- 1½ cup Whole oats can substitute with Quick Oats
- ¼ cup Flaxseed, ground or flaxseed meal
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Line cookie or baking sheets with parchment paper. Or spray with oil to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, peanut butter, applesauce, broth and egg.
- In a medium bowl, combine the oat flour, oats and ground flaxseed.
- Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and combine. The dough will be sticky, similar to cookie dough.
- Scoop the dough using a cookie or ice cream scooper, or large soup spoon. Place the scooped dough on the prepared baking sheet. Using the scoop (or with wet hands), flatten the dough to about a half-inch thick round.
- Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. The bottom of the treat should be slightly browned.
- Cool on a wire. Serve to your furry friend once cool.
Notes
Storage
Once dog treats have thoroughly cooled, store in an airtight container. These treats are a soft, moist treat. Therefore, I would recommend storing in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. They can be stored on the countertop, but only for up to 2 days. Store in the freezer for up to 6 months.
