Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ½ cup plain pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ½ cup xylitol-free peanut butter, room temperature
Dry Ingredients
- 1¾ cups old-fashioned oats
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workspace: Line a tray or plate with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set it aside. This will be where you’ll place the formed treats to set.
- Check Ingredients: Ensure the peanut butter is at room temperature to facilitate easier mixing and better incorporation into the dough.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, pumpkin puree, and plain Greek yogurt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add Oats: Gently fold in the old-fashioned oats to the wet mixture. Allow the mixture to sit for 2 to 3 minutes so the oats can absorb moisture and soften slightly.
- Add Peanut Butter: Incorporate the room temperature peanut butter into the mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are combined and the mixture holds together like a soft dough.
- Adjust Texture: If the dough is too wet, gradually add more oats until it firms up to a manageable consistency. If it’s too dry and crumbly, add small amounts of applesauce to moisten it. Aim for a soft dough that can be shaped into treats.
Notes
- Make sure the peanut butter is xylitol-free, as xylitol is toxic to dogs.
- You can customize these treats by shaping them into small balls or flattening them into biscuit shapes.
- Store treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- These treats are intended as snacks and should be given in moderation alongside your dog’s regular diet.
- If your dog has any allergies, consult your vet before introducing new treats.
