My kitchen is in a very busy state right now with a flurry of pumpkin recipes flying through. I have bought so many cans of pumpkin in the past few months that I alone may be largely responsible for keeping the pumpkin puree industry in business. The only problem with this is that, for a lot of my recipes, I don’t seem to end up using a whole entire can of pumpkin puree. Which means I have a lot of half-full cans that I don’t want to throw away, but am not entirely sure what to do with them. Well I’ve found the perfect solution to all of this leftover pumpkin puree — bake it into puppy cookies and feed them to your furry family members!
Pumpkin is a dog friendly ingredient that even can be good for their digestive tracts. I mixed this up with some other dog-safe ingredients including peanut butter (possibly my own dogs’ favorite flavor in the whole world), eggs, flour (I used a mix of whole wheat and all-purpose, though you can certainly use just one or the other), and just a little bit of baking powder. Because their texture is harder and crunchier than your average cookie, they take a little extra time in the oven, but mixing them up and cutting them out takes only minutes. My dogs absolutely adored these pumpkin dog treats, and since they’re so easy to make, you can bet I’ll be making them over and over again!
