  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 30 treats

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 1/2 cups rice flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the dog treats evenly.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the pumpkin puree and the large egg. Mix them thoroughly until fully combined to create a smooth base.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Stir in the ground ginger, ground flaxseed, and rice flour. Work the mixture into a dough by mixing until all ingredients are well incorporated and the dough holds together.
  4. Roll out the dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to approximately 1/4 inch thickness to ensure even baking and the right treat size.
  5. Shape the treats: Keep the rolled dough on the parchment paper and transfer it to a baking tin. Use a knife or dough cutter to slice into strips or desired shapes for the treats.
  6. Bake the treats: Place the baking tin in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Flip the strips halfway through the cooking time to ensure both sides become firm and evenly baked.
  7. Cool before serving: Remove the treats from the oven and place them on a wire rack. Allow them to cool completely to firm up and become safe for your dog to enjoy.

Notes
