I am trying to make more from scratch this year, including dog biscuits for our pups. We go through a lot of dog treats since we have 3 of them and I try to buy more natural treats at the store to avoid giving them lots of preservatives and artificial coloring, etc. I feel our dogs deserve that :) I found this recipe in Country Wisdom and Know how and it was very easy to make and the dogs really seemed to enjoy them. The peanut butter with essential fatty acids should help your dog feel energized and give them a nice, shiny coat.
This recipe made a ton and I used a medium size dog bone cookie cutter. If you use something smaller you'll be set with dog treats for the year! Freeze excess biscuits for up to 3 months.
Peanut Butter Biscuits From Country Wisdom and Know How
4 cups whole-wheat flour
2 cups quick cooking oats
2 1/2 c. warm water
1/2 cup all natural peanut butter (no sugar or salt added)
1/4 cup carob chips (find at health food store...I omitted since I didn't have any and the dogs loved them anyway. Make sure to NOT use chocolate chips since dogs are allergic to them)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients; mix well. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough until it is firm. If too sticky, add warm water, 1 T at a time, while continuing to knead. Roll the dough to a 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with the cookie cutter of your choice. Transfer biscuits to a baking sheet. Bake the biscuits for 40 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the biscuits stand in the oven until hard, 1 to 2 hours.
