Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits

More doggy biscuits! I had no bananas available so I made a different recipe for biscuits. I really should go look for a dog bone cookie cutter. Meh. As if M really cares. She sees us getting these out of her container and she immediately stands to attention and is ready for any command we throw at her. As long as we give her a piece afterwards. Lol. It's similar to when she smells us cooking bacon. Very cute.


Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits
(makes approx 4 dozen biscuits)

Ingredients:

• 2 1/4 cups whole-wheat flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1/3 cup natural peanut butter
• 1 1/4 cup hot water

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour and oats. Stir in peanut butter and hot water until dough just comes together. Add more flour if it's too sticky or add a little more water or peanut butter if too dry.
3. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness and cut out into shapes. Arrange on baking sheet closely (they don't spread at all).
4. Bake for 40 minutes or until the edges just start to get golden brown. Turn off oven and leave biscuits to cool in the oven overnight. You can just take them out and cool like you would normal cookies, but this will make the biscuits stay fresh longer.
5. Store in an airtight container for up to a month.

Peanut Butter & Banana Dog Biscuits

First time making dog biscuits and it was a roaring success! M really loved these. I think she loves them more than her Greenies. Sweet! Some of the pups at work really like them too so that's definitely good.

Since having K, I've actually enjoyed baking. And since I've been baking for humans, I thought I'd try my hand at baking for pups. I like it. Maybe I'll make different kinds of biscuits next time. :)

M is a pretty small dog, so I shared most of her goodies away with friends' and neighbours' dogs.

You can probably turn dough onto a floured surface, but I'm a freak and like everything neat. That being said, I just roll it out onto wax paper to keep flour from getting everywhere. Lol.


Peanut Butter & Banana Dog Biscuits
(makes about a pound of biscuits)

Ingredients:

• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup natural peanut butter
• 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed (about 1/2 cup)
• 1 cup whole wheat flour, more if needed
• 1/2 cup wheat germ
• Olive oil (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 300F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. Stir together the egg, peanut butter and banana in a medium bowl; blend thoroughly. 
3. Stir in the flour and wheat germ and mix well. Dough should smooth and elastic. If dough is sticky, just add a touch more flour. If dough is crumbly and not holding together, then add a little bit of olive oil.
4. Place smooth dough onto wax paper and roll to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes with a cookie cutter, place on parchment lined baking sheets.
5. Bake biscuits in preheated oven until dried and golden brown, about 30 minutes, depending on size. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
6. Store in airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
