Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter Side Note: Double-check that your peanut butter does NOT contain Xylitol. This sweetener is highly toxic to dogs.
  • ¾ cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • ⅓ cup quick oats
  • 3 strips of bacon cooked & chopped into bits

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until golden brown; drain paper towels. Chop into bits.
  3. Whisk together the peanut butter, milk, and egg until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and the baking powder; mix well.
  5. Add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture until combined. Add the oats and bacon bits; mix well. The dough is thick and heavy.
  6. Working on a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 3-4 times until it comes together. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to 1/4-inch thickness.
  7. Use a dog treat cookie cutter to cut out the desired shape and place it onto the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Place into oven and bake until the edges are golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator or freezer. My dog loves them right out of the freezer - especially on hot days! Enjoy.
