Pumpkin Einkorn Dog Treats

My dogs sure do like it when I make these Pumpkin Gingerbread Dog Treats Made With Fresh Milled Einkorn! And, I am willing to bet your pet will love them too! I feel good about feeding these homemade dog cookies to my pups, because I know what ingredients are in them, and they are all good ingredients for dogs!

Equipment

  • 1 Rolling Pin

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree
  • 2 Eggs
  • 3 cups fresh milled Einkorn Flour 380g I milled 2 cups of whole Einkorn
  • 1 tsp Ceylon Cinnamon (you can use regular cinnamon, but the Ceylon Cinnamon has so many benefits)
  • 1 tsp Ginger fresh grated is a great choice

Instructions
 

  • Firstly, Mill The Einkorn Flour
  • Add eggs, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, and ginger into the flour. Mix until it is all combined.
  • Knead a little to combine. Form into a ball.
  • Then, once it is all mixed, and there is no dry flour left, wrap in cling film and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • After it rests in the fridge, take it out to a lightly flour work surface, and roll it to 1/4 inch thick. I have this cool rolling pin with thickness gauges on the side.
  • Preheat Oven to 350*F
  • Then, Line baking sheet with parchment paper
  • Use whatever cookie cutter shape you want, or just cut them into little squares with a pizza cutter. I borrowed some bone shaped cutters from a friend to make these.
  • You will need to reroll the remaining dough after cutting shapes a few times until there is no dough left.
  • Bake for 20 - 25 minutes. I did not press little holes in the center of the treats to let the air out, I kind of like hoe they balloon up with a hollow space. But, if you don't want them to be hollow in the middle, use a tooth pick to press a few dots in the center of your treat shapes.

Notes

See my post for flour alternatives if your dog has allergies to wheat.
