Christmas morning is one of the coziest times of the year — the tree lights twinkle, gifts get unwrapped, and the kitchen fills with the smell of cookies. But while my family enjoyed their holiday sweets, my dog Amane would sit patiently by the fireplace, waiting for something just for her.
That’s when I began baking Christmas dog treats — festive, safe recipes made with wholesome ingredients so she could join in on the holiday fun.
2 cups oat flour
½ cup natural peanut butter (xylitol-free)
½ cup pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
1 egg
½ tsp cinnamon (optional, for holiday flavor)

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
