Peanut Butter Dog Treats

Super Easy Doggy Biscuits
42 biscuits

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 cup beef or chicken broth

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
In a large bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, cornmeal and salt. Mix in the oil, egg and broth to make a soft dough that is not too sticky. You may add more flour if needed. Roll teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and place on the prepared cookie sheet. Flatten slightly.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until nicely browned and firm. Cool completely, then store in an airtight container.

I have several but am on a bit of a time crunch and would love if someone could provide me with a website or their own special recipe for their pooch. I have a number of wacky ingredients in my kitchen, so it just has to be safe, easy, tasty, and quick.

The rescue dogs that enjoy these treats will thank you!

This is a GREAT biscuit recipe from the Good Food Cookbook for Dogs, by Donna Twichell Roberts. I made these for my dog, Atari — once I got the dough rolled out, the baking took up most of the time (not much hands-on time at all!). Use parchment paper on your baking sheets, and cleanup is a breeze. It makes a huge batch, too. I got more than 100 with one batch.

If you don’t have a bone-shaped cookie cutter, just use a shot glass turned upside-down to make round cookies.

Oh, and all ingredients are safe for dogs — the author did extensive research. Also it smells yummy, there are no preservatives. My husband had one, even! He said it was good but not sweet enough for human consumption.

I highly recommend the book! Amazon link below.

BANANA BONES
4 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups Grape-Nuts cereal
2 cups mashed banana (about 5 bananas, the riper the better — I used up the ones my husband and I didn’t want to eat anymore, LOL)
3/4 cup water
4 Tablespoons ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons honey

1. Place all ingredients in a large bowl; mix thoroughly to combine.

2. Roll out dough on floured surface to 1/4 inch thick (just eyeball it). Using a cookie cutter, cut into bone shapes. Combine dough scraps and continue to roll out and cut until all dough has been used.

3. Place cookies on ungreased foil or parchment paper-lined baking sheets, and bake in a preheated 325 degree (F) oven for 30 to 35 minutes.

(I didn’t have that many cookie sheets, so I used two cookie sheets, and while they were baking, I cut out more shapes. When the two cookie sheets came out, I just put the new ones I cut on. The foil helped here, cuz I could just drag the foil with the finished cookies out on the counter to cool, and reload the empty cookie sheets with new cookies to bake right away!)

the recipe calls for brewers yeast and i was wondering if i could substitutre it with regular baking yeast. It is a flea biscuit recipe with garlic.

Do NOT use baker’s yeast instead of brewers yeast

baker’s yeast =
This is used as a leaven in breads, coffeecakes, and pastries like croissants and brioche. It works by converting sugar into carbon dioxide, which causes the dough to rise so the bread will be light and airy.

beer yeast =
brewer’s yeast that’s used as a nutritional supplement,
excellen source of B vitamins and amino acids.
That type of yeast is deactivated,
so it won’t produce any alcohol or bubbles.
