Your dogs will beg for these irresistible biscuits! When you have a dog with allergies, there aren’t a lot of options for treats. I came up with these irresistible 3 ingredient dog biscuits after many months of trial and error. Best part of this recipe? It makes tons. Like pounds of dog treats and cheaply!
Seven years ago, we adopted Raymond. Soon, we discovered he had a lot of quirks. For instance, he won’t walk in puddles, insists on being on the left side at all times of you, spins in circles to self soothe and bites his foot for hours. In addition, he came home with severe skin issues. Despite a bath and flea treatment, he didn’t improve. Several vet trips later, we learned he was allergic to pretty much all the common dog food and treats out there. I did a lot of searching for allergen-free dog biscuits. No milkbones for you Raymond, sorry.
So if you are like us, perhaps you have found this treat recipe for your pup with allergic reactions. Search no further! I developed this 3 ingredient dog biscuits recipe after years of looking. If your dog likes pumpkin, they’ll love these snacks. Now, please don’t overfeed your dog as they beg for the whole tray. We want healthy dogs, not dogs the shape of a pumpkin.
One word of caution: our dog has severe allergies but we have found that rice, pumpkin and egg are all safe ingredients for him. If your dog is allergic to any of these ingredients, please don’t feed these to your pup. However, 3 Ingredient Dog Biscuits are much less likely to have issues due to the avoidance of common allergen causing foods.

3 Ingredient Pumpkin Dog Biscuits
Ingredients
- 1 bag (680g) rice flour
- 1 can (425g) pumpkin
- 1 large (50g) egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325F (160C.)
- In a large bowl, mix egg, pumpkin and flour until it forms a soft dough. This is easily done by hand, no equipment needed.
- Roll out about 1/8 – 1/4" thin. Cut into desired shapes.
- Bake from 15 – 60 minutes. 15 will be a softer chewy treat. One hour will dehydrate them and give a crunchier biscuit. I like to make a few batches of varying times.
- Store in an airtight container up to 2 weeks, fridge for a month or in the freezer up to 6 months.
Thank you for this recipe. My poodle is on a very fat limited diet due to a bout with pancreatitis. I ground organic barley and Einkorn wheat berries. A tsp. Of cinnamon makes them smell wonderful. She likes them with a very thin coating of peanut butter.
Mary, you’ve tweaked the recipe enough to make it sound delicious enough for me to eat. 😊 Our old ray terrier got pancreatitis in her senior years and did very well with these treats. She lived many years with the condition and only had one or two flare ups thankfully. If the vet hasn’t told you already, avoid pork products like the plague now. They seem to really aggravate the condition.
My dog is allergic to egg yolk, can I make these with just egg white?
You sure can! If the batter isn’t coming together with just the egg white, add 1 – 2 tbs of water, one teaspoon at a time until it is a stiff dough.
I make these with egg, pumpkin, regular flour,dash of cinnamon. After several days they start to mold! I don’t make them too crunchy, my dogs are old with weak teeth.What causes the mold? Is it the regular flour?
Moisture is the driving force behind foods molding. The dryer you make them, the longer they will last. Regular flour does hold onto moisture better than rice, so they will go bad sooner but only by a few days. You can bake them then drop the temperature to 200F for an hour after baking to help draw out moisture without making them crunchy, leave them out all day before storing them, or simply store most of them in the freezer or fridge to delay mold. If you put them in the fridge, they thaw on the counter within about 30-45 minutes. In the fridge, just bring them out 15 minutes prior. Since I live in a humid climate that promotes mold, I freeze them all at once and just bring out a few each day in the morning for the dogs.
