Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup canned pumpkin
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1–3 tbsp water
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Gather and measure all ingredients accurately to ensure a perfect dough consistency.
- Combine ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, canned pumpkin, peanut butter, egg, and salt together.
- Mix dough: Stir the mixture thoroughly until blended, then gradually add 1 to 3 tablespoons of water until the dough forms a firm ball that’s not too sticky.
- Roll dough: Lightly flour a clean cutting board and roll the dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness for even cooking.
- Cut treats: Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough into small rectangle-shaped pieces suitable for your dog’s size.
- Re-roll scraps: Gather any dough scraps, re-roll them, and cut into additional rectangles to minimize waste.
- Prepare air fryer: Lightly grease the air fryer basket to prevent sticking. Place the rectangles inside the basket with some space between each treat; you may need to air fry in batches.
- Air fry treats: Cook the treats at 370ºF (188ºC) for 5 to 7 minutes or until they turn a golden brown color, indicating they are cooked through and crunchy.
- Serve: Allow treats to cool completely before serving them to your dog. Watch as your pet enjoys their homemade, healthy treat!
Notes
- Use all-natural peanut butter with no added xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
- The dough consistency should be firm enough to roll but not dry; add water gradually as needed.
- Ensure treats are fully cooled to avoid burning your pet’s mouth.
- Store leftover treats in an airtight container for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
- Adjust treat size based on your dog’s breed and chewing habits.
