Homemade Dog Treats
Homemade Dog Treats are made by combining peanut butter, honey, olive oil, chicken broth, oats, and flours into a dough that's rolled and cut into bone shapes. Baked until firm, these treats can be stored for two weeks and provide a wholesome snack option for canine companions. The recipe allows for freezing the dough for later use.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup peanut butter creamy
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment and set them aside. In a large bowl, whisk together peanut butter, honey, oil and chicken broth until smooth. Pour in the flours and oatmeal. Mix until combined.
- Add some flour to your work surface. Turn the dough out onto the work surface and roll the dough until it's about 1/4-inch thick.
- Using a small bone cookie cutter (or any other shape you have), stamp out the cookies. My cookie cutter was a 5-inch bone-shaped cookie cutter. If you have a small dog, feel free to use a 2"-inch bone-shapped cookie cutter. Use a small bone
- Stamp out as many cookies as your cutter allows and transfer to the cookies to the prepared baking sheet.
- Roll up the leftover scraps and re-roll it. Cut out as many as possible. Bake the cookies for 14-16 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack. Store them in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Notes
- Peanut butter can be substituted with creamy almond butter for variation.
- Freeze cookie dough on a baking sheet for 30 minutes, then transfer to a freezer bag for storage up to 6 months.
- Bake cookies directly from frozen for convenience.
