We all love a treat. Especially Felix. Make these delicious pumpkin doggy biscuits to treat your best pal.
Makes approx 100 2cm biscuits.
Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup rolled oats
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. allspice
2 tbsp. olive oil
1/2 cup cooked steamed pumpkin puree
1/4 cup natural peanut butter (smooth)
1/4 cup water
*Additional Flour for Rolling
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 180°C (325° F)
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and allspice.
In a medium bowl, stir the olive oil, pumpkin, and peanut butter.
Make a well in the flour and pour in the pumpkin mixture.
Using a stand mixer, begin to combine the wet and dry ingredients on low.
Pour in the water and mix on low until thoroughly combined.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface, and hand knead the dough until no longer sticky.
Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness and cut into shapes with your favourite shaped cookie cutters. Felix prefer his cat shaped….looking like his arch enemy Oscar Della Bosca, the ginger Tom cat.
Spray a baking sheet with baking spray.
Place the biscuits on the baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes.
Turn the oven off and leave them in for another 30 minutes.
Cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
Storing: These dog biscuits can be stored for later enjoyment. Since they are baked quite hard, you can keep them in an air-tight container in fridge for approximately 4 weeks. Or store in freezer for 6 months.
