On Halloween, many dogs will be trick-or-treating along with their people. Remember to keep your dog away from the candy – especially the chocolate, which can be toxic to dogs (See our previous post about Halloween safety.) But no need to leave canine friends out of the fun. Here is a simple recipe for Peanut Butter Pumpkins that you can share with your favorite trick-or-treating dogs.

Peanut Butter Pumpkins

Ingredients:

1 cup oat flour

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup peanut butter

(Can substitute with almond butter)

1 tsp baking powder

Directions: Preheat oven tp 325 degrees. Combine oat flour, rolled oats, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Add the peanut butter and water. Mix the ingredients together untils dough forms. Roll the dough into 1/4″ thickness. Cut into Halloween shapes. (pumpkins, witches, bats, ghosts, etc.) Bake for 40 minutes.
