Pumpkin Dog Biscuits

Makes About 24 small biscuits · 45 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (about 120 g) plain 100% pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups (about 200 g) oat flour, plus extra for rolling
  • 1 egg
  • 1-2 tablespoons water, as needed

Instructions

  1. 1Heat the oven to 175°C / 350°F and line two baking trays.
  2. 2Whisk the pumpkin puree and egg together until smooth.
  3. 3Add the oat flour gradually and mix to a firm dough, adding water only if needed.
  4. 4Roll out on a floured surface to about 0.5 cm thick for a crunchy biscuit.
  5. 5Cut into small shapes and place on the trays.
  6. 6Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning the trays halfway, until dry and firm.
  7. 7Turn the oven off and leave the biscuits inside for 15 minutes to crisp, then cool completely.

Storage

  • Once fully cooled and dry, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  • Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • If biscuits soften, they have absorbed moisture — refrigerate them and use sooner.

Serving considerations

  • Choose a biscuit size your dog can chew comfortably, and supervise hard biscuits with dogs that gulp food.
  • Dogs with dental problems may do better with the softer banana oat version.
  • Keep total treats to a small share of daily calories.
