Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup peanut butter (make sure it doesn't contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs)
- 1 1/4 cups hot water or low-sodium chicken or beef broth
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a non-stick baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and rolled oats.
- In a separate, microwave-safe bowl, melt the peanut butter for about 30 seconds in the microwave until it's easy to stir. Be cautious not to overheat it.
- Whisk the hot water or broth into the melted peanut butter until it's well combined.
- Allow the peanut butter mixture to cool slightly, and then beat in the egg.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until the dough forms. If you're using any of the optional add-ins, fold them into the dough at this point.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Use cookie cutters or a knife to cut out shapes or squares from the dough. You can make them as small or as large as you like, depending on the size of your dog.
- Place the cut-out biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the biscuits turn golden brown and crispy.
- Allow the biscuits to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, store the homemade dog biscuits in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to a week or refrigerated for longer shelf life.Remember to consult your veterinarian if your dog has any food allergies or specific dietary requirements. Also, consider the size of the treats in relation to your dog's size and daily calorie intake. Homemade treats are great, but they should be given in moderation to maintain a balanced diet for your pet.
