Homemade pumpkin pie dog treats



difficulty-moderate


Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/4 cup flax seed
• 1/4 cup toasted wheat germ
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup pumpkin puree 
• 1/3 cup natural peanut butter
• 1 large egg

2. combine the flour, flax seed, wheat germ, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Whisk together the pumpkin, peanut butter, egg, sugar, water, and oil in a separate bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir with a spoon or rubber spatula until a very rough dough forms. Knead the dough in the bowl until the bowl comes together; it should be very slightly moist
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and roll out to a 1/4 inch thickness. With a 3 inch cookie cutter, cut out treats and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Press all the scraps together, kneading once or twice, then roll out to 1/4 inch thickness and cut out more treats; repeat if necessary. Brush the top of each treat with the egg yolk (for crunchiness).
