Peanut Butter Dog Treats
Peanut Butter Dog Treats with bacon. Easy, healthy homemade recipe for your furry friend.
Calories:
Equipment
- Optional: any shape cookie cutters. They can also be just cut into squares.
Ingredients
- 1 cup pure pumpkin not pumpkin pie filling
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup packaged real bacon bits
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees then combine the pumpkin, peanut butter, egg and applesauce in a bowl. Fold in the baking soda and flour stirring until combined. The dough will be thick. I used my hands to finish combining it.
- When the flour is completely blended add the bacon bits again folding with your hands until they're mixed in.
- Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface about ¼” thick then cut into shapes using a cookie cutter. You can use any shape at all - or just cut into squares.!
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper then transfer the treats to the baking sheet. They don’t need much room between because they’ll puff but won’t spread out.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes then transfer to a wire cooling rack. Make sure the treats are completely cool before offering to your furry friend.
