Spiced Pumpkin Dog Treats

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, combine flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water, stir the mixture and let sit for 5 minutes.

Whisk together flour, baking powder, star anise and cinnamon in a large bowl.

Add flaxseed mixture, pumpkin and peanut butter and mix well with a wooden spoon until dough comes together.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out into a 12x4-inch rectangle about 3/4-inch thick.

Cut into 1-inch strips and give each piece a little pinch in the middle to mimic the shape of dog bones or use a dog-bone-shaped cookie cutter.

Place on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake until treats are completely hard, about 1 hour. Let cool completely, then store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
