Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- ½ cup sweet potato puree, carrot puree, or pumpkin puree
- 3 tablespoon all-natural peanut butter (dog-safe, no added ingredients)
Instructions
- Heat oven - Heat oven to 350°F with the rack positioned in the middle.
- Mix dough - Add oat flour, sweet potato or pumpkin puree, and peanut butter to a bowl and mix until homogeneous. If the dough is very wet, add a little more flour; if the dough is very dry, add a splash of water. The dough should be tacky and pliable but not too wet.1 cup oat flour, ½ cup sweet potato puree, carrot puree, or pumpkin puree, 3 tablespoon all-natural peanut butter
- Roll out dough - Lay a piece of parchment paper on a clean work surface and transfer the dough to the center of the parchment paper, then place another sheet of parchment paper on top. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to a quarter-inch to half-inch thickness. The cookies will only be as thick or thin as you roll them out since there aren't any leavening agents in the dough. Remove the top piece of parchment paper and use a small cookie cutter to cut the dough or use a knife, bench scraper, or pastry flute to cut into small rectangles.
- Bake - Transfer the biscuits to a parchment-paper lined baking sheet (you can use the top sheet you used to roll out the dough). Bake for 20 minutes for a chewy biscuit, or for 22-25 minutes for a crispier cookie. Remove from oven and allow to completely cool. Finally, let your dogs enjoy these pumpkin peanut butter oatmeal dog treats!

Notes
Storage
- Refrigerate these homemade dog treats in an air-tight container for up to 1 week. You can also freeze them for up to to 2 months. If you freeze them, just remember to use a freezer safe storage bag and to let them thaw before giving them to your pups.
- Break the treats up into smaller pieces when you serve them to your dogs.
- Be sure you use pure, all-natural peanut butter made of just roasted peanuts. Some peanut butters contain additives that can be harmful to dogs.
- You can make your own oat flour. It’s very easy and affordable. Be sure to use organic oats, glyphosate is often found in non-organic oat-based products.
- Make sure you use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin pie filling can contain sugar and other additives.
