Air Fryer Dog Treats
Your furry friend will love these Air Fryer Dog Treats. Make them soft or crunchy; either way, your doggie will love these nutritious treats!
Servings: 40 treats
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- ⅓ cup peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ¾ cups whole wheat flour
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, and eggs until well mixed.
- Add 1 cup of flour and stir until combined. Mix in another cup of flour until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough by hand, adding the remaining flour as needed until it is soft but not sticky or crumbly.
- Lightly flour a large piece of parchment paper and place the dough on it.
- Roll the dough to about ¼ inch thick using a rolling pin. Cut out shapes with a cookie cutter and set aside on a baking sheet.
- Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper, making sure it lays flat. Place treats inside without touching.
- Working in batches, air fry at 370°F for 4 to 5 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Transfer the treats to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.
Notes
🥡 STORAGE
Store treats in an airtight container away from heat and moisture. They will stay fresh for about 1 week at room temperature or up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.♨️ REHEATING
These treats do not require reheating. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.❄️ FREEZING
Place cooled treats in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw before serving.💡 TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
- Always use natural peanut butter with no added sugar or xylitol—xylitol is toxic to dogs.
- Keep the parchment paper flat in the air fryer to avoid fire hazards.
- For crunchier treats, increase cooking time by 1 to 2 minutes.
🍳 ALTERNATE COOKING METHODS
- Oven: Preheat to 350°F. Bake treats on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 20-25 minutes or until firm and lightly golden. For a crunchier texture, bake an extra 5 minutes.
- Dehydrator: Set to 160°F and dehydrate treats for 4-6 hours for a shelf-stable, crunchy result.
♻️ LEFTOVERS
Leftover dough can be wrapped tightly and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before baking.Nutrition
