We've been beggin' my Lady for some homemade dog treats. She's been mighty busy lately and kept on tellin' us that when she had a chance she would cook us up some. Well, that day finally got here WOOF! We were all a sniffin' the air and waitin' in the kitchen for the home baked goodies to come out of that big hot box that cooks them. This time we got to have Pumpkin and Peanut Butter Dog Treats!
When they finally got cooked, we were left coolin' our heels while they cooled down a bit.
All that waitin' just made my mouth water somethin' fierce!
Finally, my Lady called treat time and we were all so excited we could hardly sit still.
Them pups were a pushin' and shovin' tryin' to be first in line.
Someday they'll learn ain't nobody gettin' one til everyone sits calmly! Young whippersnappers!
I thought I was gonna die from waitin' WOOF!
Them pups finally got the hint and my Lady started passin' them out.
When she handed me mine, I know my eyes were big as golf balls and I was a droolin' like a mad dog. Boy howdy!
I guess it has been a while since we had homemade treats, but those Pumpkin and Peanut Butter Dog Treats were the best tastin' treats ever, well besides my favorite Oatmeal, Peanut Butter & Banana treats! And, she even let us have 2 each WOOF!
Lemme fetch my Lady so she can tell you how to make them!
Pumpkin and Peanut Butter Dog Treats
The pups are wild about these tasty dog treats!
It is another one of their favorites and they are always excited about them.
If your dog loves dog treats with pumpkin and peanut butter then this is the recipe for you!
The recipe is super easy to make and only requires 3 ingredients!
Ingredients:
1 cup Pumpkin Puree
½ cup All Natural Peanut Butter (please make sure it does not contain xylitol)
1 ¾ cup Whole Wheat Flour
(Will need parchment paper; I only say this because sometimes I don't always have this on hand!)
How to make these tasty dog treats:
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Combine ingredients in a bowl and mix until it's clumpy and not sticky.
I used my hands to make sure the dough was well combined and no dry ingredients were left out.
Lay down a sheet of parchment paper on your work surface and place the dough on the parchment sheet.
Lay another sheet of parchment paper over the dough and use a rolling pin to roll dough to ¼ inch thick.
Once it is to your thickness liking, peel off the top parchment paper.
Use your desired cookie cutter to start cutting out the treats.
Place on your lined baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350 F.
Let cool completely.
Store in an airtight container or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

I just took a double batch out of the oven and my dogs are on top of me waiting for them to cool. I've made homemade treats for them before but hadn't thought of using pumpkin until I found your recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Jen says
Super easy and fun! Question...should they be crunchy when done or still kind of soft?
Sharon says
Boxers are very gassy and whole wheat flour seems to make them more so. Can all purpose flour be used?
Angel Taylor says
I tried this and OMG not only did my 3 teacup chihuahuas Love them which they are very picky but my friends golden Lab who was the most gentless eater almost took my fingers off. Everyday he would look at me when he saw me and give me a look like hey I know you got some good stuff.... LOL I am making them again.
April says
My baby Nia received these as a Christmas gift from one of her friends and she just loved them!!
My husband liked them too. He says if he cannot have it then neither can she. He has us all on a very healthy diet.
With 3 masters in Animal Science we tend to listen.
Judy says
I just made these and used my Kitchen Aid mixer to mix the ingredients and it came out nice and smooth, no clumps, etc. I used large cookie cutters so only got about a dozen treats but that’s ok as long as my dogs like them the recipe is so easy I will just make them again..
Tera says
This was easy and fun to make!
Allison says
Hello there!! My pup loves these!! I was wondering however, if they were meant to be soft?? If so is there a way to make them harder?
Molly says
To make them harder, add a bit more flour and bake just a little longer 🙂
Zoey says
This seems like a combination any dog would love!
Ashley says
I made these for my dog, and he loved them. I made two batches, one exactly how the recipe says and I added some leftover bacon to the other. I used oatmeal flour instead of whole wheat. I like to know what is in my dogs food since he has major allergies. This recipe was really easy to make as well.
Beth Elliott says
Is there something I can use instead of whole wheat flour? My German Shepherds have terrible wheat and corn allergies.
Thank you
Molly says
Hum. I'm not sure. I've never made it any other way.
Nicole says
I've used gluten free flours ( a mix of rice and potato flour I think). It came out a little sticky, but the dogs loved them!
ThePoetQueen says
We used homemade oat flour 2c instead of 1 3/4
Brandi Dawn says
My doggers love peanut butter! This recipe looks easy and delish!
