Ingredients & Health Benefits
- Coconut Oil: I use organic coconut oil for the fat. Coconut oil is great for dog’s skin and coat. It also contains lauric acid which is an immune system booster.
- Pumpkin: Organic pumpkin puree is a superfood for your dog! It will help keep their tummy happy, thanks to the fiber. It also has loads of antioxidants! And it can also help with eye health.
- Honey: I use a little bit of organic raw honey, because these are treats! Honey is antimicrobial and antibacterial, it can also help with allergies.
- Eggs: I use organic eggs, which are high in omega-3 fatty acids. Eggs also have protein and will help keep your dogs coat shiny.
- Flour: I use a mix of organic all purpose flour and organic oat flour.
- Baking Soda: You’ll need baking soda.
- Cranberries: Organic cranberries have antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals! They also can help with digestion as they have antimicrobial properties. And they also have a certain protein that can aid in the health of your dogs teeth and give them fresh breath!
Tools Needed
- Scale: Always use a digital food scale for the best results.
- Mixing Bowl: You'll need a large mixing bowl.
- Mixer: I use my hand mixer for this recipe. You could also just use a bowl with a whisk or spatula too, it’s that easy!
- Baking Sheet: You’ll need two half sheet pans for this recipe.
- Parchment Paper: I use nontoxic parchment paper for ease.

Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, add the melted coconut oil, pumpkin, egg, and honey and mix together. I just use my hand mixer here, but you can also just use a whisk or spatula too.
Add in the all purpose flour, oat flour, rolled oats, and baking soda. Mix together until a dough forms. Last, add in the cranberries and fold in with a spatula.
Step 3
Using your hands, form the dough into 24 balls and place on the prepared baking sheets spacing them evenly apart. You’ll have 12 cookies per sheet.
Step 4
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheets.
Step 5
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. Or you can also freeze these!
Baker’s Tips
- I use melted coconut oil in this recipe. You can melt it using a small pot over the stove or in the microwave, whichever you prefer.
- Cut the cranberries small if you have a smaller dog. John John doesn’t like big pieces of them in these cookies, but he does like the small pieces.
- If you don't have fresh cranberries, feel free to leave them out and you have delicious pumpkin dog treats!
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
- You can also freeze these in an airtight container to last longer!
FAQ’s
Yes, as long as they have no added sugar or oils (most do). Look for ones that are just cranberries, they are out there but harder to find.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze these for longer!
