How to make Honey Cinnamon Dog Treats

Make tasty treats for your dog.

Honey cinnamon dog treats are easy to make and will keep for several months so your dog can enjoy them anytime. There are many recipes for dog treats that you can use. Whole wheat flour and pumpkin puree hold the dog treats together and have nutritional value for your dog. Honey and cinnamon are also flavors that pair well with the pumpkin. You need to use plain pumpkin though, not pumpkin pie filling. Honey cinnamon dog treats will last for six months if frozen and for one week when refrigerated.

Things You'll Need

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 2 tsp. cinnamon
• 3 eggs
• ¾ cup honey
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 1 (15oz.) can pumpkin puree
• Bowl
• Mini muffin tin
• Cooking spray
• Mixing spoon

Instructions

1. Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly in a bowl. It may take a bit of effort to get the honey to fully mix but it will blend eventually.

2. Spray the muffin tin so the dog treats won't stick.

3. Add the mixture to the muffin tin so each muffin cup is about two-thirds full.

4. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes.

5. Cool the treats completely before serving them to your dog.

Tips & Warnings

• According to the AKC 49% of pet owners want to dress their pets for the holidays. 1 out of 10 will dress their pet. This is a great project for children and treats to have on hand for the 4 legged trick-or-treaters.

• Keep in mind the size of your pet. Know your pet allergies if any.
