How to Make This Pumpkin Dog Biscuit Recipe
STEP ONE: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine all ingredients in order and beat until well combined. The dough should look crumbly but will stick when placed into a ball.
STEP TWO: Split dough in half and roll into a ball. Place ball of dough between two layers of parchment paper.
STEP THREE: Flatten with the ball with the palm of your hand, and then roll with rolling pin. The dough should be about ¾ inch thick. Once flattened, use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes.
PRO TIP: I used a medium-sized cookie cutter to create these. You could use a smaller cookie cutter and use them as training treats if you’d like. They are excellent motivation. 😉
STEP FOUR: Carefully lift and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all of your dough is used.
STEP FIVE: Place in the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. For a crisper treat, flip over treats and cook for an additional 6 minutes or until crisp. You may need to adjust baking times depending on treat thickness and type of cookie sheet.
STEP SIX: While the treats are baking, heat additional peanut butter for 20-30 seconds in the microwave or until smooth and creamy. Once treats are finished cooking, drizzle peanut butter. Let cool completely before serving to your dog.
How to Store
Pop your treats into a sealed plastic bag or airtight container.

Amazing smell while cooking these treats and I had one happy puppy!
Will these stick together in the fridge or freezer bc of the peanut butter drizzle?
Great recipe! About how long will these be good for if stored in an air right container ?
I stored in the fridge in an airtight container for a month and they were good! I’ve read they will last for up to two months in the fridge of six months in the freezer. We go through them too fast to test out that length of time though. 😉
Can I substitute whole wheat flour and still get good results?
I haven’t tried it that way, but I think you would be ok!
I was just about to ask the same thing! I have whole wheat flour already and really don’t want to run to the store for brown rice flour. 😂
I am trying this recipe now, only I am substituting Coconut flour, not just because I have it on hand, but because it is supposed to be very healthy for dogs, especially diabetic dogs.
Wendy, did the coconut flour substitution work?
Amazing! My dogs love it! I will definitely share this recipe with others.
Is this recipe good for dogs on low fat diet
Our trainer approved these but you’ll want to check with your vet if you have questions to be sure!
Great recipe. I made them as surprise gifts for friends who have dogs. I ordered another dog bone cutter in the 2 inch size so they could be used for treats.
I made these with almond flour snd they turned out great. My fur baby loves them!
