Substitutions and Variations

• Coconut or almond flour - Use coconut or almond flour instead of oat flour if you prefer the taste.
• Other fruits - Sub the sweet potato or pumpkin for any soft dog-safe fruit, like mashed banana, apple sauce, cooked carrots, Japanese sweet potato, or honeynut squash.
• Fish snacks or sardines - Add dehydrated fish snacks or mash a few sardines in the dough for a fishy treat.
• Chia seeds - Add a teaspoon of chia seeds for extra texture.
• Homemade pumpkin puree - Make your own pumpkin puree by following our simple recipe.

Instructions

• Heat oven- Heat oven to 350°F with the rack positioned in the middle.
• Mix dough- Add oat flour, sweet potato or pumpkin puree, and peanut butter to a bowl and mix until hom*ogeneous. If the dough is very wet, add a little more flour; if the dough is very dry, add a splash of water. The dough should be tacky and pliable but not too wet. (Photo 1 and 2)

• Roll out dough- Lay a piece of parchment paper on a clean work surface and transfer the dough to the center of the parchment paper, then place another sheet of parchment paper on top. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to a quarter-inch to half-inch thickness. The dog cookies will only be as thick or thin as you roll them out since there aren't any leavening agents in the dough. (Photo 3 and 4)
• Cut the dough - Remove the top piece of parchment paper and use a small bone cookie cutter to cut the dough or use a knife, bench scraper, or pastry flute to cut into small rectangles. (Photo 5)
• Bake- Transfer the biscuits to a parchment-paper lined baking sheet (you can use the top sheet you used to roll out the dough).Bake for 20 minutes for a chewy biscuit, or for 22-25 minutes for a crispier cookie. Remove from oven and allow to completely cool. Finally, let your dogs enjoy these pumpkin peanut butter oatmeal dog treats! (Photo 6)

Pro tip - Break the treats up into small pieces when you serve them to your dogs.
