    Maggie, my Havanese, is obsessed with these dog cookies! She is a "velcro" dog and is rarely more than ten feet away from me. One day, shortly after I made these pumpkin dog treats, I suddenly realized she wasn't anywhere to be seen.

    After searching everywhere, I found her at the other end of the house, sitting and focusing intently up at the table where I had left them earlier.

    Apparently, her loving devotion had shifted from me to those treats. . .

    ❤️ Why you'll love this recipe

    • Dogs love them! If you celebrate your dog's birthday, here's a healthy snack.
    • They're made with simple, healthy ingredients.
    • They're quick and easy to make.
    • They smell good, unlike some of the commercial meat or salmon treats.
    • These make a cute gift for your dog-loving friends when packed in a jar with a ribbon and a tag.
    • The recipe calls for pumpkin purée, so it's a good one to use when you have a little leftover pumpkin. After making Pumpkin Spice Bread, Warm Cranberry Apple Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal, Pumpkin Cheesecake or Pumpkin Pecan Coffee Cake you often have ½ a cup or more pumpkin left in a can. Perfect for your pup!

    🛒 Ingredients for peanut butter pumpkin dog treats

    • pumpkin purée: not pumpkin pie filling.
    • peanut butter: natural, no sugar added. Read the label carefully and check that it does not contain xylitol--an artificial sweetener that is highly toxic to dogs.
    • eggs: you'll need two large eggs.
    • oat flour: you can substitute whole wheat flour. Certified gluten-free oat flour is a good choice if your dog has a gluten sensitivity.

    🥄 How to make dog treats for silicone molds

    While you certainly don't have to have silicone molds, they do make cute dog biscuits! The ones I use have paw prints and dog bone shapes.

    1. Combine pumpkin purée, peanut butter and eggs, then stir in the flour. The dough will be quite stiff.
    2. Roll the dough into small balls, less than 1-inch in diameter, then gently press them into the molds. Don't overfill them. The dough will puff up a little while it's baking.
    3. Place the filled molds on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes at 350°F. or until they have hardened.
    4. Remove from the oven and place the molds on a cooling rack for 10 - 15 minutes, then invert them. Let the treats cool completely. They will harden a little more while they cool.

    Possible Variations

    While these silicone molds are very easy to use and clean, they're not essential. You can either pat or roll out the dough to ⅓ to ½ inch thickness, then use a cookie cutter to cut shapes.

    Since this recipe fills about three and a half of these molds, I have simply patted out the dough and cut small ½ inch cubes with the remainder. If they're ½ inch thick, they will take 30- 35 minutes to bake.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can dogs have allergies to food?

    Yes! If you have concerns about feeding your dog peanut butter or certain grains, it's always a good idea to consult your veterinarian first.

    🐾 How to store dog treats

    These pumpkin peanut butter dog treats will last for a week or two at room temperature in a sealed container. For longer storage, refrigerate or freeze them in a freezer-safe bag or container with all the air removed.

    Note: These are dog treats, not a replacement for your dog's regular kibble.
