Homemade Pumpkin Pie Dog Treats
Want to learn how to make homemade pumpkin pie dog treats? You’re barking up the right tree!
Pumpkin is a healthy, nutrient-rich option for dog treats. It’s packed with potassium, iron, and the antioxidant beta-carotene — all of which support your pup’s digestion, immunity, and overall wellness. Plus, pumpkin is a beloved seasonal ingredient that adds natural flavor and moisture to homemade treats.
What You’ll Need
Supplies:
- A mini muffin pan
- A food grinder or high-speed blender
- A mixing bowl
- A whisk
- A spoon
Yield & Timing:
- Yield: 8 pumpkin pie treats
- Serving size: 1 treat per dog (ideal for small- to medium-sized dogs; adjust portion size for larger breeds)
- Prep time: 10 minutes
- Bake time: 10 minutes
- Total time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if your dog has sensitivities)
- ½ cup plain pumpkin puree (100% pure pumpkin — not pumpkin pie filling)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin pan.
- Grind the oats into a fine flour using a food grinder or blender.
- Mix the base: In a bowl, combine the oat flour, egg, and 1 tablespoon of water. Stir until it forms a soft, slightly sticky dough.
- Form the crusts: Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture firmly into each muffin cup to create a sturdy base and shallow rim — like a tiny pie shell.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then carefully remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Fill and serve: Once cooled, add a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of plain pumpkin puree to each crust. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
