Dog Treat Recipes

DOGS NEED DESSERTS TOO!

NOTES:

  1. Freezing Instructions: If your pup can't eat the whole batch in a week, you can freeze them! The treats freeze well up to 2 months.

  2. Flour: Unbleached all-purpose flour is safe for dogs, but whole wheat is more highly recommended by the vet because of its added health benefits. Again, please consult with your vet about any allergies your dog may have.

1 large carrot, shredded (or 8-ish baby carrot)– around 2/3 cup shredded

2 and 1/4 cups whole wheat flour*

1 Tablespoon baking powder

1/3 cup oats (either whole-rolled or quick oats are fine)


DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.

  2. In a large bowl, gently mix the peanut butter, milk, egg, and carrot together with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. Add the flour and baking powder. You may need to turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and use your hands to work in the flour. Mix in the oats. The dough is extremely thick and heavy.

Bake for 5 more minutes.

  4. Allow to cool completely before serving to your pup. Store at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
