We have a dog-friendly pumpkin pie recipe that is pawfect to make fur all your gatherings this holiday season and share with all the pups in your family!
Supplies needed:
Bowls for Mixing
Spatula
Electric Mixer or Whisk
Muffin Pan
Ingredients
Makes 12 Mini Pies
Crust
¾ cup Oat Flour
SW Tip: If you can't find oat flour, use a food processor to pulse rolled oats until they have a flour-like consistency!
½ cup Unsweetened Applesauce
1 Large Egg
Pumpkin Pie Filling
1 15oz can Pumpkin Puree (NOT Pumpkin Pie Filling)
1 Tablespoon Honey
1 Large Egg
¼ Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
Topping
Plain Greek Yogurt
Cinnamon
* Please double check any allergies or dietary needs with your vet if you are unsure of your pup’s dietary needs! We want to make sure they have a great time enjoying a special treat with you and no one ends up with an unhappy tummy!
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 °F
Step 2
In a bowl, mix together ¾ cup of oat flour, ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, and 1 Large Egg to make the dough for the crust. Continue to mix until a dough forms and all ingredients are incorporated.
Step 3
Scoop approximately 1 tbs of the crust dough into each cup of the muffin pan. Press the dough mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the cup to form a shallow well to hold the filling.
Step 4
Bake the crust for 8 minutes and remove the pan from the oven. The crusts should have a little bit of color and be fully baked when they come out.
Step 5
To make the filling, mix together 15 oz pumpkin puree, 1 tbsp of honey, 1 large egg, and 1/4 tsp of cinnamon with an electric mixer.
Step 6
Once the filling mixture is smooth, evenly fill each crust in the muffin pan with approximately 1 tbs of the mixture.
Step 7
Bake the filled pies for 18-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack once the pies have cooled slightly. Once on the cooling rack, allow the pies to cool to room temperature.
Step 8
Once pies are fully cooled, top each pie with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt and a small sprinkle of cinnamon. Serve to your pup!
Notes:
Pies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or frozen for up to 3 months. To thaw, place pies in the fridge overnight.
To make a whole pie rather than mini pies, place all of the dough in a pie pan and press the dough into the sides and bottom to form a shallow well. Bake the crust for 8 minutes. Add the filling evenly to fill the crust and bake for 30 minutes. Allow to cool and add your topping!
