Declicous Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits

Baking your dog a good treat can be fun and rewarding. It’s also beneficial because it allows you to know and pick what the ingredients are in your dog’s treats. With home baked goods there are no additives, so you can be confident with what your dog is snacking on. You will also save money on dog treats, because making your own will prove to be less expensive. Making your own also gives you room to play around with different tastes, sizes, and accustom to suit your pup for any special needs they may have (like allergies!). Baking a little love into your pooch’s edible rewards will leave you both smiling. Here is a great and simple recipe for some yummy peanut butter dog biscuits that your pup will be sure to enjoy.


Ingredients:
1 c. whole wheat flour
1 c. spelt flour (if you don’t have it, use wheat flour in its place)
1 c. quick-cooking rolled oats
2 TBSP flax seeds
1-1/4 c. warm water
1/4 c. natural peanut butter
Yields 24 dog biscuits


Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Mix the flour, oats and flax seeds in a large mixing bowl.
Add the peanut butter and stir in the water.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface. Add in more flour, little by little, until the dough is no longer sticky.
Roll out the dough until it’s approximately 1/4″ thick. Use a fun dog cookie cutter or simply cut into squares.
Bake for 20 minutes and then let cool.
