#BasicDog Pumpkin Treats

What's more basic than pumpkin spice anything in the fall? Nothing. Now your dog can also embrace the basicness in a spicy pumpkin treat.

Last week I bought a package of soft dog cookies for about $5, and after a couple of days it was completely finished! Most cookies I buy for my dog are hard and crunchy, but I really like the idea of a softer treat. This recipe I came up with is super duper easy and perfect for the fall.

Brawny and my sister's 2 German Shepherds absolutely loved these cookies. You can eat them too! These are really great to bring along on a hike or long workout as they are filled with fiber and vitamins. They're also very mildly sweet, so don't expect a sugary pumpkin cookie taste!

Directions
1. In a large bowl mix together the oat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and ginger. In a separate bowl, mix together the pumpkin, coconut oil, and honey.
2. Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir until well combined.
3. Scoop tablespoons of dough onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet and flatten with a fork.
