Celebrating Howl’oween with Healthy Trick-or-Treat time!
Look what we found!
Stephanie Rose, writer of the Garden Therapy blog, shared this super simple, truly tasty fall dog treat with her readers and we wanted to spread the love. Full of protein and fiber, your dogs are sure to enjoy these delicious seasonal delicacies!
Ingredients
• 1 cup of freshly cooked pumpkin
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 egg
First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and get your ingredients ready.
This recipe uses 1 cup of cooked and pureed pumpkin. If you choose to use canned pumpkin, be sure to get an unsweetened pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie mix that has added sugar and spices. Measure out the pumpkin and add it to a mixing bowl.
Next, beat the egg and add it to the pumpkin. Mix together well. Add in the flour, stir, and then transfer the mixture onto a non-stick surface.
Then, use your (clean) hands to kneed the pumpkin dog treat mixture until just mixed. Use a rolling pin to make it ½” thick.
Tip: use a little extra flour on the non-stick surface and the rolling pin to prevent sticking. This will make rolling out the dough so much easier!
Transfer the dough onto a cutting board and cut it into a grid of biscuits that are approximately ¾” square for a small dog or 1” square for medium and large dogs. I found it easiest to cut with a pizza cutter, but a knife works fine a well.
Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
How to Store
Store these dog treats in an airproof container, and they will last for about a week on your countertops.
If you want to make a double batch or need these to last longer, store the airtight container in your freezer, where they will keep for up to six months. Just make sure to let them dethaw before giving them to your pup!
Thank you, Stephanie Rose, for this awesome, healthy recipe for canines!
