Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Mixture

  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (ensure no xylitol or added sugars)
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This temperature will ensure the cheesecake bakes evenly and achieves a golden finish.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain yogurt, pumpkin puree, natural peanut butter, rolled oats, honey, and eggs. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated, creating a creamy batter.
  3. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9-inch round pie dish to prevent sticking. Pour the batter evenly into the dish, spreading it to fill the base uniformly.
  4. Bake: Place the pie dish into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the cheesecake feels firm to the touch and a nice aroma fills your kitchen.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the cheesecake to cool completely in the dish. Once cooled, slice it into appropriate serving pieces. Keep treats out of reach until ready to serve to avoid impatient puppy eyes!

Notes

  • Ensure peanut butter used does not contain xylitol or added sugars, which are toxic to dogs.
  • You can sprinkle a small amount of cinnamon in the oats for extra flavor, but introduce spices cautiously to your dog’s diet.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator and serve chilled for best texture and freshness.
  • This recipe is designed as an occasional treat, not a meal replacement.
  • Always consult your veterinarian before introducing new foods into your dog’s diet, especially if they have allergies or health conditions.
