Homemade Pumpkin Dog Treats

Homemade Pumpkin Dog Treats

Pumpkin is a popular flavor among the holiday season. Spoil your pooch with a taste of the festive flavor and bake some delicious homemade pumpkin dog treats that will not only make for a happy hound, but also allow you to monitor what your pup is actually consuming. These treats are a great way to share some of the holiday love with your deserving dog.


Ingredients:


1/2 c. canned pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
4 tbsp molasses
4 tbsp water
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 c. whole wheat flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon (optional)



Directions:


1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Blend all of the wet ingredients (pumpkin, molasses, vegetable oil, water) together.
3. Add the dry ingredients (wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon) and stir until a soft dough forms.
4. Grab the dough by teaspoonfuls and roll it into balls with your hands. Drop the balls onto the cookie sheet/pizza pan and flatten them with a fork.
5. Bake until hard (approximately 25 minutes).
6. Enjoy!
