Crunchy Gluten Free Dog Treats
Whole grain, crispy and crunchy gluten free dog treats made in your dog's favorite flavors: peanut butter and pumpkin!
Yield: 45 treats
Equipment
- Small (bone-shaped) cookie cutter optional
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup (80 g) canned pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons (32 g) no sugar peanut butter
- 2 (100 g (weighed out of shell)) eggs at room temperature
- 1 ½ cups (210 g) Bob’s Red Mill all purpose gluten free flour (the bean flour blend) plus more for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, place the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, and eggs, and whisk vigorously to combine well. Add the 1 1/2 cups of flour, and mix until well-combined. The mixture will become quite thick and relatively stiff.
- Sprinkle a flat surface with more flour, and place the dough on top and sprinkle the top lightly with more flour. Knead until smooth.
- Roll out the dough into an oval shape about 1/4- to 3/8-inch thick (about 1 cm), moving the dough frequently to avoid sticking, and sprinkling as necessary with more flour.
- Using a 2-inch wide rectangular (ideally bone-shaped) cookie cutter, cut out shapes and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. They won’t spread at all during baking, so they can be relatively close together on the baking sheet.
- Gather and reroll scraps, and cut out more shapes. Using a toothpick or small dowel, poke two holes on either end of each treat. This will help the treats crisp in the oven.
- Place the baking sheet in the center of the preheated oven. Bake until lightly golden brown on the edges and set in the center, about 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, and allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. Feed to your dog!
- Leftovers can be stored in a sealed glass jar at room temperature until someone is a very. good. boy.
