Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup unsalted, unsweetened peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup oat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini donut pan to ensure easy removal once baked.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, peanut butter, and egg. Stir together until smooth and well blended.
- Add the Dry Ingredients: Gradually add oat flour, baking powder, and cinnamon (if using) into the wet mixture. Mix until just combined—avoid over-mixing to keep the donuts tender.
- Fill the Donut Pan: Spoon the batter evenly into each donut mold cavity, filling them about 3/4 full to allow slight rising during baking.
- Bake and Cool: Bake for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the donut comes out clean. Let the donuts cool completely before serving to your pup.
Notes
- Use natural peanut butter without added sugar or xylitol which is toxic to dogs.
- Don’t overbake to maintain soft texture.
- If batter is too dense, add a splash of water to reach scoopable consistency.
- Store donuts in an airtight container to keep fresh for several days.
- Introduce gradually if your dog hasn’t had pumpkin before to check for sensitivities.
