New Family Addition ... We make you Homemade Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog Treats

Yes you read that right we have a new family member. A very sweet 5 year old Mini Pincher / Jack Russell Terrier named Chase. My friend had been foster him to rehabilitate him, from a bad home situation. He's a bit timid and shy but he's fitting in perfect with the family. My youngest who is usually afraid of dogs is in love!

So like anyone new to my home when you come to visit I make you something to eat! I went on a search for an easy dog treat!  I found a recipe for Homemade Pumpkin Peanut Butter Dog Treats on Damn Delicious. Easy and a big hit with our new pup.

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 2 large eggs
• 3 cups whole wheat flour, or more, as needed

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.

Just one of those days!

Yesterday at work I was just done, I don't know what happen to me but I was pooped I had it on my mission to work out. But for some reason I couldn't get my rear (literally) in gear. Rick had a early night from work and called and offered to pick up dinner, I was so in a bummer mood I couldn't even get excited that he offered. I won't mention that it was fast food but I at least could veg for a little while and even went to bed early :).

The only cooking I did was for the dog. I found that last time in my hast I put the biscuits in the container too quickly and the moist caused mold ... ugh! Yup had to throw them all out, so I had to make more. I found yet another recipe to try out! And I let them sit out all night to make sure they were dried out and ok to store.

Peanut Butter Dog Treat

by Dog Paw Print

1 cup (250 ml) dry oats
2 cups (500 ml) whole wheat flour
1 cup (250 ml) all natural peanut butter
1 cup (250 ml) water
¼ cup (60 ml) canola oil
1 egg, beaten (or Egg Beaters, equiv. to 1 egg)

Preheat oven to 350° (180°). Mix all of the ingredients together in a fairly large bowl. Sprinkle a bit of flour over a flat, clean surface, and roll the mixture out over the flour to about ¾" (2 mm) thickness. Use dog-themed cookie cutters or simply cut into rectangles and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Cook first for 20 minutes on one side and then flip the treats over and cook an additional 20 minutes. Remove to cooling racks and let dry out thoroughly. Dog biscuits are ready after about two hours.
