You may consume collagen in your diet, but did you know your pets can also benefit from collagen supplementation? Similar to humans, collagen is the building block for your pets' bones, cartilage, joints, blood vessels and connective tissues. And like us, the amount of healthy collagen in the body begins to diminish with age. These Pumpkin Flour Dog Biscuits use our Oat Flour, Kabocha Pumpkin Flour, and Grass-Fed Collagen Peptides to create a simple, crunchy treat your fur baby will most definitely love!
About the Ingredients
Hearthy Foods’ Oat Flour - This flour serves as the neutral base of the dough.
Hearthy Foods’ Kabocha or Regular Pumpkin Flour - Both Kabocha pumpkin and regular pumpkin are not only safe for dogs, Essential micronutrients and fiber make pumpkin a great option to add to treats.
Hearthy Foods’ Grass-Fed Collagen Peptides - Adds a boost of protein.
Baking Soda - Gives your biscuits a tiny bit of rise in the oven.
Eggs - Serves as a binder.
Natural, Unsalted Peanut Butter - What pup doesn’t love peanut butter? Adding peanut butter gives the treat a great aroma for your fur baby to get excited over! It also serves as an additional binder. The healthiest option is to use unsalted, natural peanut butter since high sodium levels can be problematic for dogs.
What You'll Need
Measuring Cups and Spoons
Large Mixing Bowl
Whisk
Silicone Spatula
Baking Sheet
Parchment Paper
Rolling Pin (optional)
Small Cookie Cutters (optional)
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
1-1/4 cup Hearthy Foods’ Oat Flour
1/4 cup Hearthy Foods’ Pumpkin Flour
1/4 cup Hearthy Foods’ Grass-Fed Collagen Peptides
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2 large eggs
1/3 cup natural, unsalted peanut butter
Method
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine oat flour, pumpkin flour, collagen peptides and baking soda. Whisk to thoroughly incorporate ingredients.
- Add eggs and peanut butter. Use silicone spatula to mix ingredients thoroughly. Dough will adhere to itself, and will not be sticky to the touch.
- If using a cookie cutter, place dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Gently peel off top layer of parchment paper. Cut out shapes, and recombine/re-roll leftover dough to continue using the cookie cutter until all the dough is used. Place biscuits on baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
- If not using a cookie cutter, roll dough into balls 1/2-inch to 1-inch thick. Flatten to 1/4-inch thickness. Place biscuits on baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
- Bake for 13-16 minutes until crispy.
- Keep Pumpkin Flour Dog Biscuits sealed in an airtight container in fridge and serve in moderation.
