Pumpkin-Peanut Butter-Banana-Homemade Dog Treats :)

  Yesterday I was reeeeally wanting to make something while Ashton was napping.  Much of what I wanted to make required a mixer.. That just made me really depressed because my mixer is about to die.  Last time it was used was on Thanksgiving for mashed potatoes and it sounded like it was going to explode.  So needless to say I was looking for something that I could do by hand and stumbled upon these dog treats.  The recipe was changed just a tad but all credit goes to the lady at this site.
  

I took one look at Remi and decided to get in the kitchen :).

Here's the line up... Sans a banana and cookie cutter :) 

You'll need: 2 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour.  (After some research I found that dogs can tolerate All Purpose Flour just fine and people use whole wheat flour for the added nutritional value.  I could have waited but I REALLY wanted to see how these would turn out.)

2 eggs, 2 tbs peanut butter, and 1 cup of pumpkin.

You can also add banana, and honey if you'd like :) The recipe is really one of those take out put in type of things.  If I had oats on hand I would have put some of those in.  

(PREHEAT OVEN TO 350)

Since I didn't have a mixer, I did most of the combining with a fork and it worked very well.  Until finally I sprinkled some flour on the counter and did it by hand.  Once everything was incorporated, the dough got very STICKY so I used a lot of flour for dusting.  

Roll it out to your desired thickness and use a cookie cutter. These don't rise or expand at all so putting them close together on a (lightly greased) cookie sheet close together is fine. 

In they go for about 30 minutes :)

Aren't they cute?

It was nearly impossible to get a good picture of Remi because she ate them so fast :) 

Store in an airtight container! I have/had about double what you see here.  

Hope ya'll enjoy!!
