My gluten free homemade dog biscuits are a brighter orange because I used natural peanut butter and a duck egg. Duck eggs have very orange yolks that can make baked goods a bit darker orange. If your dog biscuits aren't this color that is completely fine and is based on the types of ingredients you choose to use.

Ingredients

Canned Pumpkin Puree
Creamy Peanut Butter
Egg
Gluten Free Rice Flour
Arrowroot Powder
Milk
Chicken Broth

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line three baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

In the bowl of your stand mixer beat the pumpkin puree, creamy peanut butter and egg until mixed together. 

Add the gluten free rice flour, arrowroot powder, milk and chicken broth. Beat until a dough forms and begins to stick together in the bowl of your mixer. 

Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll out to your desired thickness. I rolled my biscuits out to about ⅛ of an inch, but you could do thicker. I used a small dog biscuit shaped cookie cutter . If you don't have a cookie cutter roll the dough into 1 inch balls and then press them out with the palm of your hand or a fork.

The biscuits won't spread very much when baked, so you can place them fairly close together on the baking sheet. I did 6 biscuits high by 8 biscuits wide on my baking sheets.

Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes. If you choose to make thicker biscuits they may take a bit longer. 

When done the biscuits will be dry and slightly crisp to the touch, much like a pie crust.

Storage

Once the gluten free dog biscuits have cooled completely store them in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to one month.

Top Tip

It is important to store these dog biscuits in the refrigerator or freezer! They are made without preservatives so they won't be shelf stable like store bought dog biscuits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is peanut butter good for dogs?

Yes. Peanut butter can be a good source of protein and healthy fats for your dog. Be sure to check the label and make sure there isn't any xylitol in the ingredients. I like to use all natural peanut butter that is simply peanuts ground into a butter.

If your natural peanut butter is separated from the oil use a hand mixer with one beater to blend the peanut butter and oil back together. I prefer to use creamy peanut butter so there aren't any choking hazards.

Is pumpkin good for dogs?

Yes. Pumpkin is great for your canine's digestive system. Pumpkin is a great source of fiber and has prebiotic properties. It is also rich in Vitamin A, which is great for your pooches brain and eyes.

Please be aware with any ingredients if your dog has an allergy or a reaction to stop using them immediately. I can only speak for what has been amazing for our basset hound, Mario.
