It’s Thanksgiving week, my favorite time of the year! I am so excited to be writing this post from my parents’ home in Boston. I am here for the week, celebrating Thanksgiving and spending lots of time with my family.

I couldn’t wait to share this Pumpkin Pie Dog Treats recipe with you! We recently started incorporating puréed pumpkin into Bessie’s food after we read that it can help reduce itchiness and stop dogs from licking their paws.

Bessie has a few food allergies, so we have to be careful with what we feed her.  I am especially happy with this recipe because it’s very allergy friendly for most dogs. These Pumpkin Pie Dog Treats are gluten-free and dairy-free, plus the fiber from the pumpkin and carrots is great for a dog’s digestion.

I also added parsley, which helps freshen stinky dog breath, and egg, which can add shine to a dog’s coat.

I’ll admit, Bessie isn’t necessarily the fairest taste-tester because she loves ALL FOOD (seriously, this dog will eat anything). But her tail was wagging even faster than usual for these treats, so I think they were a big success!

Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: Dog Food
Keyword: Dogs, oats, Parsley, Pumpkin
Servings: 16 square treats
Author: Rachel (littlechefbigappetite)
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free flour
  • 3/4 cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin purée (not pie filling)
  • 1/2 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/8 cup carrot, peeled and grated
  • 1/2 egg, beaten
  • 1 Tablespoon raw honey
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper. Spray paper with cooking spray.
  2. Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl until well combined. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and smooth to a 1/4 inch thickness. Using a pizza cutter (or sharp knife), score the batter into 16 squares (3 lines horizontally and 3 lines vertically).

  3. Bake for 15 minutes, then rotate the pan and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  4. Using the parchment paper, lift the bars out of the pan and finish cooling on a wire rack. Use the pizza cutter to break the bars into 16 even squares. Store the pumpkin pie treats in a refrigerator. Since my dog is small, I froze half of mine to use at a later time.

    OMG Bessie is adorable! She looks like she’s part chihuahua? I have two furbabes, one chihuahua and one chi-terrier – he is a big paw licker too!
    I have made a few treat recipes for them before, they love pumpkin but I’ve never added parsley. Seems like a great idea, I’ll have to try these out 🙂

      Aww, thank you! Yes, she is a rescue so we don’t know exactly what she is, but we do think there is definitely part chihuahua in there. I hope your furbabies love these treats!

    1/2 an egg? Really? How about 1 small egg and then should I increase the flour or a different ingredient? Thanks Rachel!
    I plan on making this for 4 dogs to go into their Christmas stockings.

      Yup, half an egg or 1 egg white is the perfect amount for this recipe. Feel free to experiment with it though! I hope you pups love it!

    This is great! I’ve never actually made doggie treats.

    Can I use regular all-purpose flour, or does it need to be gluten-free?

      Yes! As long as your dog doesn’t have a gluten allergy 🙂 I hope your dog loves them!

    These are amazing! I was trying to find something good for my senior dog that has kidney disease. He can’t have a lot of protein and most of these recipes call for two to three cups of flour so I used cake flour bcos it’s lowest in protein. He’s very picky with his eating but he can’t get enough of these treats! Thank you!!

      Aww, I am so glad to hear that your dog loved them! So sorry about his kidney disease, wishing you both all the best.
