Ingredients
Scale

- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, egg, and melted coconut oil. Stir well until smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, and ground cinnamon.
- Form the Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
- Roll Out the Dough: Lightly flour your surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut Out Shapes: Use cookie cutters to cut out fun shapes.
- Bake: Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool Completely: Allow the cookies to cool completely before serving them to your dog.
Notes
- Storage: Store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. They can also be frozen for up to three months. Thaw before serving.
- Flour Alternatives: If your dog is sensitive to wheat, you can substitute with oat flour, brown rice flour, or coconut flour.
- Add-ins: Feel free to add finely grated carrots or apples, or a spoonful of natural peanut butter for additional flavor (make sure it’s xylitol-free).
