Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

½ cup Plain Pumpkin Puree
¼ cup Creamy Peanut Butter (natural, unsweetened)
1 Egg
1 tablespoon Melted Coconut Oil

Dry Ingredients

2 cups Oat Flour

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking your dog biscuits.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, natural creamy peanut butter, egg, and melted coconut oil. Use a mixer or whisk by hand until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the oat flour to the wet mixture, stirring continuously until a stiff dough forms that holds its shape well.
Shape the Dough (Silicone Molds): Press the dough firmly into silicone molds to create biscuit shapes. Place the filled molds onto a baking sheet for stability.
Bake Biscuits (Mold Method): Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until firm and lightly golden.
Cool Biscuits: Carefully remove the biscuits from the silicone molds and transfer them onto a wire rack. Allow them to cool completely to achieve a crunchy texture.
Alternate Shaping (Cookie Cutter Method): On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about ½-inch thickness. If sticky, sprinkle a little more oat flour.
Cut Out Shapes: Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut shapes from the rolled dough. Collect scraps, re-roll, and continue cutting until all dough is used.
Bake Cutouts: Place the cut shapes on a baking sheet and bake as directed above for 20 to 25 minutes until firm and golden.
Cool Cutouts: Transfer the baked cutout biscuits to a wire rack and cool completely before serving.

Notes

Use natural, unsweetened peanut butter to avoid harmful additives like xylitol.
Ensure the biscuits are fully cooled and hardened before giving to your dog to help maintain freshness and crunchiness.
Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks or freeze for longer storage.
Oat flour can be made by grinding gluten-free oats if you prefer a gluten-free treat.
If your dog has allergies, consult your veterinarian before introducing new treats.
