Ingredients
- 1 cup pure pumpkin puree

(Quick oats also work as an alternative.) - 1/2 cup apples, finely chopped
(Remember to core and remove the seeds.) - 1 tablespoon xylitol-free peanut butter
(Ensure it’s natural and unsweetened for safety.)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, oats, chopped apples, and peanut butter. Stir well until the ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Scoop small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet using a spoon or ice cream scoop. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the treats are firm to the touch.
- Let the treats cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
- Substitutions: Oats can be replaced with rice flour for grain-sensitive dogs. Cinnamon can be added in a small pinch to enhance flavor.
- Storage: Store treats in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days at room temperature, up to a week in the refrigerator, or freeze for up to a month.
