Homemade Dog Treats
Description
The recipe blends white whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, quick oats, and cornmeal to create a textured dough. Wet ingredients include canola oil, egg, water, and peanut butter safe for dogs, ensuring binding and palatability. The dough is rolled out to 1/8 inch thickness and cut with cookie cutters for portion control and shape variety.
Baking occurs in two 10-minute intervals with a final 20 minutes in the cooling oven to dry them thoroughly, ensuring the treats develop a crisp finish suitable for dogs. The recipe yields about 18 treats using a 2-inch diameter cutter.
These treats serve as wholesome snacks or training rewards, made from familiar pantry ingredients and baked at home for quality control and ingredient safety.
