No, but really, I’ve been spending a lot of time and money shopping for good-quality dog treats for Butters here, but then I thought, why not just make them at home?

Nothing beats the homemade version and I know exactly what’s going into his food instead of all those suspicious by-products.

Best of all, these homemade treats are incredibly easy with ingredients you already have on hand – peanut butter, some leftover pumpkin puree from the holidays, eggs and whole wheat flour.

And bone-shaped cookie cutters are just so much fun to work with. I used these and made several different sizes, although I certainly favored the smallest ones. They are just too cute.

But you can really use any kind of cookie cutter you want – hearts, stars, dog houses, paws, etc. It’s up to you! Just be sure to adjust baking time as needed – the longer they bake, the crunchier they are so it’s really up to your pups’ preferences.

Ingredients

  • ⅔ cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup peanut butter*
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 ½ cups whole wheat flour

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat pumpkin puree, peanut butter and eggs on medium-high until well combined, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Gradually add 2 1/2 cups flour at low speed, beating just until incorporated. Add an additional 1/4 cup flour at a time just until the dough is no longer sticky.
  • Working on a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 3-4 times until it comes together. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Using cookie cutters, cut out desired shapes and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Place into oven and bake until the edges are golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.*
  • Let cool completely.

Notes

*Most peanut butter is safe for dogs to eat in moderation but some can be deadly, especially those that contain xylitol. You can read more about it here.
*Baking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the treats. Serving size will also vary depending on the desired shapes and cookie cutters used.
