A fiber- and protein-rich dip that tastes like cookie dough? Oh yeah! We’ve been seeing chocolate hummus on grocery store shelves for a while, but we just couldn’t get on the bandwagon…until we decided to invite peanut butter to the party. GAME CHANGER!

While chocolate hummus strays in flavor from traditional hummus, it’s similarly creamy, delicious, and snack-able! This naturally sweetened version comes together in just 10 minutes with 6 ingredients you probably have around right now.

The pups have voted: These homemade peanut butter pumpkin dog treats are worthy of the MB blog! They’re crispy, peanutty, wholesome, easy to make, and our pups were begging for more. Even our friend’s pickier dog went crazy for them!

Bonus? They’re human-approved for ease and affordability — just 3 simple ingredients and 1 bowl required. Let’s make dog treats!

All you need for these wholesome dog treats is:

• Peanut butter – a favorite ingredient among dogs that boasts plenty of healthy fat and protein
• Pumpkin purée (store-bought or homemade) – soothing for pups’ digestion and adds plenty of fiber and micronutrients
• Oat flour – oats add even more fiber, vitamins, and minerals and help the treats crisp up in the oven!

I don’t know if we should be telling you this but…these cookies are inspired by dog biscuits.

It’s true! Allow us to explain.

We recently created a recipe for simple, nutritious peanut butter dog treats (recipe coming soon!), and we of course had to sample them. “Not bad,” we thought. And we wondered what would happen if we sweetened them a bit and turned them into cookies.

Spoiler alert: MAJOR WIN.
