Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the oat flour, pumpkin puree, and egg to a mixing bowl.
- Stir the ingredients together until a soft dough forms.
- Add the water gradually if the dough feels too dry.
- Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it to approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut the dough into small, matching shapes using a cookie cutter.
- Arrange the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet with a little space between them.
- Bake for approximately 16 to 18 minutes, or until the biscuits are firm and lightly golden.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, spread a small amount of natural peanut butter onto the flat side of one biscuit.
- Place a second biscuit on top and gently press them together to create a sandwich.
- Repeat with the remaining biscuits and peanut butter.
Recipe Notes
- Peanut Butter Safety: Use natural peanut butter that contains no xylitol or other artificial sweeteners. Check the ingredient label carefully before using it.
- Filling Tip: Use a thin layer of peanut butter between the biscuits. Too much filling can make the sandwiches messy and harder for dogs to eat.
- Texture Tip: Let the biscuits cool completely before adding the peanut butter so the filling does not become overly soft.
- Storage: Store assembled treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can freeze the baked biscuits separately and add the peanut butter after thawing.
- Common Mistake to Avoid: Do not use peanut butter containing xylitol, chocolate, added spices, or other ingredients that are unsafe for dogs.
- Serving: Break the sandwich into smaller pieces for smaller dogs and serve as an occasional treat or reward. Treats should complement, rather than replace, your dog's complete and balanced diet.
