Hello my friends it's Dani and today I am Boop Hello my friends it's Danny
and today I am sharing a Hello my friends it's Dani and today I am sharing
a healthy homemade dog treat recipe specifically This is a homemade peanut butter dog treat made
with pumpkin cinnamon and turmeric and while I Don't always make homemade dog treats for our dog
this happens to be Charlie's birthday week he is Turning six years old this week so I thought what
better time to make a homemade peanut butter dog Treat than birthday week now if cooking for your
dog is something you've been thinking you might Like to do more often I do have a healthy homemade
dog food recipe that I've shared as well it's a Simple stovetop recipe that's super easy to make I
still make this recipe for my dog Charlie several Times per month so if that is something you want
to check out I will link it for you down in the Description box below now the technique for making
these homemade dog treats is very simple it's a Lot like making peanut butter cookies you don't
have to chill the dough or roll the dough I'm not Using any cookie cutters because I really wanted
to keep this easy so I would be inclined to make Them more often so the first thing I'm going to
do is preheat my oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit And then I have a rimmed baking sheet lined with
a Silpat mat that could also be parchment paper Or you could just Grease the cookie tray we
just don't want the dog biscuits to stick Then into a nice big bowl I'm going to start
by combining a half a cup of all natural Peanut butter you want to look for a brand that's
loose and pourable like I have here that's going To create the best texture I will of course link
to my favorite down in the description box below Then I have a third of a cup of pumpkin puree
if you can't find pumpkin puree you could use Pureed sweet potato or pureed butternut squash
all of these options would work just make sure That the only ingredient listed is the vegetable
that you're using we don't want any added sugars Or any added spices and then I have one egg then
I'm just going to combine my wet ingredients you Just want to mix them well until they're all
combined like I have here this looks good and Then we're going to add in the dry ingredients so
I'm starting with one and one quarter cup almond Flour this is an extra fine almond flour which
I really like to use because it's more nutrient Dense than a regular wheat flour however if
you prefer you could Sub in a white flower or A whole wheat flour for the almond flour they all
work just fine so use whatever option feels best For you and your pup and then last I'll add
some spices I have one teaspoon of cinnamon And a half a teaspoon of turmeric and again I'm
going to stir this all together until we have a Nice thick batter like I have here now just as
a side note this dough is very easy to work with But when I have used different brands of peanut
butter the dough has been very sticky so if your Dough is sticky just keep a little bowl of water
next to you and keep your palms wet when you are Rolling out the dog treats because it's going
to make it easier to work with now to shape the
Peanut butter dog treats I just scoop a heaping
teaspoon of the batter into the palm of my hand Roll it into a little ball and then flatten it
out to create a small disc shaped cookie just Like this and I'll place that on the baking tray
and re repeat until I've worked through all the Dough and you're going to see you may need two
cookie sheets or alternatively you can just work In batches because I have found depending on how
big or small you make them you're going to end Up with somewhere between 25 and 32 peanut butter
dog treats and since this little peanut butter dog Treat reminds me a lot of a peanut butter cookie I
like to keep the tradition going and I just take a Fork and create a little crisscross right over the
top I'm just going to push down in One Direction And come back the other way again if your dough
is sticky just dip your fork in some cold water I'll pop these in the oven and I will let them
bake anywhere between 15 and 20 minutes you're Going to know that they're done because they're
going to become lightly golden over the top and Around the edges and they will be set through
now while my dog treats cool I like to make an Optional glaze to drizzle over the top do note
that this step is completely optional you don't Have to make it I just feel like it's really fun
and it makes the dog treats look extra special so Into a small bowl I am combining a third cup of
all natural peanut butter this is the same peanut Butter I used for the dog treat two tablespoons of
melted coconut oil and then a half a teaspoon of Turmeric and I'll just mix that all together until
I have a nice thin glaze like you see here then I Carefully transfer this into a small sealable bag
get the air out to the best of my ability close The bag and then just snip the tiniest little
piece off of the corner just the tiniest little Piece and then once the dog treats have cooled I
just take that peanut butter turmeric drizzle and I zigzag it right over the top to make this fun
little glaze and if you find you have a little Extra glaze when you're finished just save it
because you can just drizzle this over your dog's Breakfast or lunch for a little extra flavor and
nutrient boost now once the glaze sets up you're Going to notice it doesn't get super hard but
it is dry so that you can store these without Making a mess so from here I just transfer them
into an airtight container I'm using a sealable Jar and you can keep them on the counter for up
to one week in the fridge for up to two weeks or Store them in the freezer for up to three months
and do note that if your dog likes a cold crunchy Treat you can serve this to them straight from the
freezer but I did intentionally make these peanut Butter dog treats on the softer side because I
know not all dogs can do this super super crunchy Treats and as you can see Charlie absolutely loves
them and I hope that your dog does too [Music]
