homemade coconut flour dog treats
With just pumpkin puree, creamy peanut butter, eggs, and coconut flour, these pup snacks are tasty and healthy for your furry friends to enjoy! Pumpkin is great for doggies’ digestion, and it’s even good for dogs with sensitive stomachs. In fact, raw pumpkin puree is recommended to give to dogs who are experiencing stomach problems because it’s calming and soothing to their systems.
Coconut flour is an excellent choice for dogs, as it is very high in both plant proteins and fiber. It’s free of gluten, which can be problematic for some dogs, and it contains significant amounts of vitamin B6, vitamin C, calcium and potassium. Based on Ted’s review (aka, him scarfing them down), I’d say these treats are a hit.
This easy pumpkin dog treat recipe contains four simple ingredients that are good for your pup and that he or she will love to chow down!
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 cup pumpkin
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 1/2 cups coconut flour
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin, eggs, and peanut butter, and stir well.
- Add 2.5 cups of coconut flour, and stir to combine. The dough should be about the consistency of play-dough: soft and easy to roll out, but not wet and sticky. Add more flour as needed to reach this consistency.
- Divide the dough into 2 pieces. Working with one piece at a time, roll it out on a well-floured surface until it is ½-inch thick.
- Cut the dog treats out using a cookie cutter, or you can simply cut them into squares using a knife.
- Place the cut-out cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Repeat with remaining dough, gathering and re-rolling the scrap dough until all the dough is used.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for 3 months.
