This video provides a simple and healthy recipe for grain-free dog treats that’s perfect for dogs with grain sensitivities or for pet owners looking to make wholesome snacks at home.

With just three ingredients—pumpkin, peanut butter, and a grain-free flour of your choice—this recipe is quick, easy, and budget-friendly.

These treats are not only low in calories but also high in fiber, making them a great option for training or everyday rewards.

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups grain-free flour (coconut, almond, or chickpea)
• ½ cup pumpkin puree or mashed sweet potato
• ½ cup unsweetened peanut butter

Steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grain-free flour, pumpkin puree (or mashed sweet potato), and unsweetened peanut butter. Mix until the ingredients form a cohesive dough.
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the dough evenly onto the sheet, aiming for a thickness of about ½ inch. This ensures the treats bake evenly and dry out properly.
4. Bake the dough in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until it feels dry to the touch and slightly crispy.
5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the dough to cool completely. Once cooled, cut the baked dough into bite-sized pieces using a knife or cookie cutter.

These treats are easy to store and can be kept in an airtight container or freezer for long-lasting freshness.

They’re a hit with dogs, as shown by the creator’s pup, Rhubarb, who loves them.
