These Peanut Butter Pumpkin Biscuits bring that cozy feeling home — crunchy on the outside, soft inside, and made with 100 % natural ingredients you already have in your kitchen.
No additives. No preservatives. Just love, pumpkin, and peanut butter. 💛

One rainy October afternoon, my dog sat beside me, head tilted, watching me bake pumpkin bread. I gave her a tiny taste — and she wagged her tail like it was the best thing in the world.
That’s when it hit me: why not make a safe pumpkin version just for her?
Now these Peanut Butter Pumpkin Biscuits have become a Sunday ritual — the smell alone sends her running to the kitchen.
Homemade, heart-made, and full of real flavor.
Everything here is pantry-friendly and dog-approved.
1 cup whole-wheat flour (or oat flour)
½ cup pumpkin purée (unsweetened)
¼ cup natural peanut butter (no xylitol)
1 egg (binding + protein)
1 tbsp honey (optional for flavor)
½ tsp cinnamon (optional for aroma)
Mix all ingredients until a soft dough forms.
Smells like fall, tastes like love.
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 175 °C / 350 °F.
2️⃣ In a bowl, whisk peanut butter, pumpkin, egg, and honey.
3️⃣ Add flour gradually until smooth dough forms.
4️⃣ Roll out ½ inch thick, cut with bone-shaped cutter.
5️⃣ Bake 25–30 minutes until edges turn golden.
6️⃣ Cool completely before sharing with your pup.
📌 Pro Tip: For a crunchier texture, leave biscuits in the warm oven for 10 extra minutes.
You’ll feel like a five-star baker the moment those golden edges crisp.

📌 Save this recipe on Pinterest and bake your own Peanut Butter Pumpkin Biscuits today — your pup will love you for it! 🐾💛
After baking your dog birthday cake, let it cool completely before frosting — this keeps the texture perfect and prevents yogurt or peanut-butter frosting from melting. (Plus, it makes the photos way cuter 😉).
Allow to cool fully in the pan, then transfer to a plate or cooling rack.
Tip: Cooling in the fridge for 20–30 minutes makes slicing cleaner.
| Method | How Long | Notes |

| Dog Size | Recommended Portion |

Plain Greek yogurt
Blended banana puree
Mashed sweet potato
Drizzle of melted dog-safe peanut butter
Every pup is different — some have peanut sensitivities, some can’t have eggs, and others just have picky-princess taste buds (we love them anyway 🐶💖).
These easy swaps make every Dog Birthday Cake Recipe flexible and pup-safe:
Sweet potato is naturally creamy, gentle on digestion, and adds natural sweetness.
It creates a soft, dense birthday-cake texture dogs go wild for.
Great for sensitive tummies and picky eaters.
Perfect for pups who can’t have peanuts or need a lower-fat option.
Mashed banana adds moisture + a lightly sweet flavor without sugar.
Also ideal for puppies or senior dogs who do better with softer treats.
For egg allergies or vegan-leaning treats:
This binds the batter and keeps the cake moist (but still sliceable).
Cake texture should be like muffin batter
If runny — add 1–3 tbsp oat flour
If dry — add splash of water or applesauce
Use tiny amount of decorations — avoid sugar sprinkles
Always use xylitol-free peanut butter
Introduce new foods slowly
Pumpkin is great for digestion — don’t over-serve daily
At the end of the day, the cake is only half the magic.
The real celebration is the wagging tail, the happy dance, and that look in their eyes that says, “You did this for me?”
Whether you're baking with oat flour, almond flour, pumpkin, or banana — your pup doesn’t care about the ingredients.
They care about you, the moment, and the love behind it.
Slice small, serve with cuddles, and enjoy every second — because birthdays don’t just mark another year for them…
they mark another year of memories you get to share together. 🎂🐾💛
