Ingredients
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree (unsweetened, not pumpkin pie mix)
- 1½ cups rolled oats (whole or ground into oat flour)
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). If you want smoother treats, pulse the rolled oats in a food processor to create oat flour; otherwise, leave them whole for a chunkier texture.
- Mix It All Together: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and egg. Stir until smooth. Gradually add the rolled oats, mixing until the dough forms into a slightly sticky but manageable consistency. If the dough feels too wet, add a bit more oats.
- Shape and Bake: Scoop small spoonfuls of the dough and roll them into balls or flatten into cookie shapes using your hands. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the treats are firm and have a slight golden color.
- Cool Before Serving: Remove the treats from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before giving them to your dog.
Notes
- Use canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugars and spices harmful to dogs.
- You can adjust the texture by using whole oats for chewiness or oat flour for a smoother bite.
- Store treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
- Always introduce new treats gradually to ensure your pet does not have any adverse reactions.
