Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal (optional)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (pure pumpkin, not pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 egg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  2. Mix It All Up: In a large bowl, combine oat flour, pumpkin puree, shredded carrots, and the egg if using. Stir until evenly mixed. If the dough is too wet, add more oat flour to reach the desired consistency.
  3. Shape the Cookies: Scoop spoonfuls of dough and roll into balls, then flatten with your fingers or a fork. Place cookies on the baking sheet spaced apart for even baking.
  4. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes until cookies are firm and lightly golden, filling your kitchen with a delicious aroma.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool completely before offering them to your dog to enjoy as a healthy treat.

Notes

  • Keep cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
  • Freeze cookies for up to three months; thaw before serving.
  • Substitute oat flour with rice flour, coconut flour, or whole wheat flour if needed.
  • Optional additions include grated zucchini or sweet potato for extra nutrients.
  • Egg can be omitted for dogs with egg allergies or sensitivities; add more pumpkin to bind.
  • Feed one or two cookies per day for large dogs; smaller dogs should have half a cookie to avoid overfeeding.
  • For crunchier cookies, bake a few extra minutes or leave in the turned-off oven to dry out.
