3-Ingredient Pumpkin Treats for Your Pup

BY KRISTEN GARRIDO

Making homemade treats can be a fun and rewarding experience. These 3-ingredient pumpkin dog treats are both easy to prepare and delicious for your furry friend.

Gather Your Ingredients

Start by gathering the three main ingredients: 1 cup of canned pumpkin puree, 1 cup of rolled oats and 1/2 cup of natural peanut butter.

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your treats bake evenly and achieve a nice golden color.

Prepare Your Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, peanut butter and rolled oats. Use a spoon or spatula to mix them until a sticky dough forms.

Knead Dough

Knead it gently for a minute or two until it’s smooth and pliable. This will help the oats absorb the moisture from the pumpkin and peanut butter.

Roll Out Dough

Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. If the dough is too sticky, you can sprinkle a little more flour on the surface.

Cut Out Shapes

Using cookie cutters in fun shapes like bones or pumpkins, cut out the treats from the rolled dough.

Baking Pan

After cutting them out, place the 3-ingredient dog treats on a baking pan, leaving some space between each piece.

Bake Treats

Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Let Cool

After baking, remove the treats from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy Together

Once your furry friend gets a taste of these homemade pumpkin treats, you’ll both enjoy the bonding time that comes with training and treating.

With just three simple ingredients, you can treat your dog to something special.
