Visitors, food smells, and extra activity is exciting and stressful on everyone in the house — including the furriest member of the family! It’s really tempting to give your poochie table scraps, but all the extra fat, salt, and sugar in people food isn’t the best for her tummy. For a canine-friendly alternative, whip up this batch of yummy treats for your best friend (or take some to a dog-loving hostess) to tell them that they’re as much a part of the festivities as everyone else. They will surely LOVE this tasty treat so much that they’ll be begging for more!
Shop at Dollar Tree — Here’s What You’ll Need:
- ½ Cup Canned Pumpkin (Not Pumpkin Pie Filling)
- 3 Tbsp Peanut Butter
- 1 Egg
- 1 Cup Plain Quick Oats
- 1½ Cups Flour
- ¼ Tsp Cinnamon
- Hot Water
Easy Step-by-Step Directions:
- Using a mixer or food processor (or your hands will work great, too), combine pumpkin, peanut butter, oats and flour until a firm ball forms. The mixture should be a slightly sticky, firm ball. If it’s too wet/sticky, add a little more flour. If it’s too dry to stick together, add hot water, a small amount at a time.
- Knead the dough a few times on the tabletop.
- Roll out to ¼-inch thickness. Use a knife to make leaf shapes, complete with veining.
- Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 350° for 45 minutes or until slightly browned and crisp, flipping once.
- If not using them right away, store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Please note: Like people, some dogs have allergies and should avoid certain foods. If you suspect your dog may be allergic to any of the above mentioned ingredients, remove that item and replace it with something similar. If you have any questions, please contact your vet.
