Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and cinnamon, if using.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, and water or broth until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
- If the dough is too dry, add water 1 teaspoon at a time; if it is too sticky, add a little more flour until it is soft and workable.
- Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Cut the dough into small wafers using a knife, pizza cutter, or small cookie cutters, and place them on the prepared baking sheet slightly apart.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the wafers are firm and the edges are lightly golden.
- Turn off the oven and let the wafers sit inside for 10 to 15 minutes for extra crunch, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once fully cooled, store the wafers in an airtight container until ready to serve to your dog.
Notes
- Use only plain pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, which contains sugar and spices that are not safe for dogs.
- Always choose natural peanut butter that is free from xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
- For older dogs or those with sensitive teeth, you can roll the dough slightly thicker and bake a bit less for a gentler crunch.
