With that said, here is a quick pumpkin treat recipe to try out at home. Ensure you only use organic raw or cooked pumpkin. Sweetened pumpkin does not carry the same health benefits.

Ingredients

  • Half a cup of canned or freshly cooked pumpkin
  • 2½ cups of whole wheat flour (gluten-free or brown rice flour can work too)
  • Two eggs
  • 2 tbsp. peanut butter
  • 2 scoops of Bullyade
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp cinnamon (ground)
  • Warm water

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 175℃ (350℉)
  • Put some water in a cup then add the two scoops of Bullyade to dissolve.
  • In a bowl, add the peanut butter, salt, cinnamon, pumpkin, and eggs then whisk into a fine mixture. Puree the pumpkin first for best results
  • Add the Bullyade water into the bowl and continue whisking
  • Now add the flour little by little and knead into a workable dough. A workable dough should be stiff and dry. Test this by poking a finger through the dough. If the finger comes out clean, the dough is ready for rolling and cutting.
  • Flour your kitchen surface then roll-out the dough with a rolling pin
  • Using a cookie cutter, cut the dough into cookie shapes you desire. It could be hearts, fruit or bone shapes, whatever your dog loves
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper before placing the cut cookies on top
  • Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 40 minutes. The cookies will be ready when they harden and have golden-brown color.

Test the results by letting Bingo gobble one cookie. If he wags his tail for more, then he just gave your tasty creation two paws up!

Tip

  • Bullyade adds a chicken or beef flavor to the cookies. It also packs plenty of electrolytes and vitamins that will benefit your dog
  • Never use leftover pumpkin as it may already have bacteria that will upset your dog’s tummy.
