Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter Side Note: Double-check that your peanut butter does NOT contain Xylitol. This sweetener is highly toxic to dogs, creamy
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 egg large
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ⅓ cup quick oats
- 3 Bacon cooked & chopped into bits, strips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until golden brown; drain paper towels. Chop into bits.
- Whisk together the peanut butter, milk, and egg until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour and the baking powder; mix well.
- 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.
- 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.
- Use a dog treat cookie cutter to cut out the desired shape and place it onto the prepared baking sheet.
- 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.
- Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator or freezer. My dog loves them right out of the freezer - especially on hot days! Enjoy.
