Instructions
Wafers
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mix together one 15-oz. can of pure mashed pumpkin, 3/4 cup wheat cereal and 1/2 cup powdered milk in a bowl. Use plain pumpkin and not pie filling that contains spices. Use rice cereal if your dog has wheat sensitivities.
Drop small spoonfuls of the mixture onto a greased baking sheet. Bake the treats for 15 to 20 minutes.
Biscuits
Use a mixer to combine 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour with 1 cup white flour, 1/2 cup oats, 1 tsp. baking powder, 2 tsp. cinnamon, 3 tbsp. vegetable oil, 2 tbsp. dry milk, 1/3 cup cornmeal, 1/2 cup canned pumpkin and 1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp. of water. The dough will be thick, so use an appropriate beater.
Roll the dough into rectangular sheets that are 1/4-inch thick. Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into squares.
Place the squares on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake the biscuits at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour. The biscuits brown rather fast. Check them often to prevent burning.
Turn off the oven once the treats are golden brown. Leave the treats inside the oven overnight to allow them to finish drying.
