My brother & I have made some dog treats awhile back. We made about 2-4 different kinds. We had never made any home-made treats for our dogs before, so we wanted to make a variety so that they were to bound to like at least one of them! Most of the treats contained peanut butter in them. I think they ended up liking about 2 out of 4 of all the recipes we tried. Out of those 4, I have one of them that I have on me right now. If anyone is interested in trying them, I am about to list it. I will list it here, below.
First make sure to preheat your oven to 350°! & lightly flour the surface you will be working on.
Ingredients needed:
- 2 cups all purpose flour or 100% rolled oats (or you can use wheat flour)
- 2 (4oz) jars of baby food (any flavor but I used chicken or beef)
- baking sheet
- non-stick oil spray or oil/butter (for the baking sheet)
- cookie cutters (optional)
Then you are going to...
1) First off, it's okay to add a bit of water/flour if you need to. Anyways, you're going to mix everything nicely together to form a ball of dough!
2) Remember how I said to have the surface you're working on lightly floured? Where this is where you're going to need it. Roll out your dough to about a 1/4 of an inch thick. If you 're the cookie cutter type,
use whatever shape you want to, to make it into your desired shape. I believe we made ours into a cube shape!
3) Next, place your treats on your baking sheet (use nonstick oil spray/butter or parchment paper) about 1/2 inch apart.
4) Okay! Next, you play the waiting game! You're going to bake these puppies (not literally,silly
) for 20-25 minutes depending on your oven.
Your last step is to allow the yummy treats to cool. I like to stick whatever I just baked, & brought out the oven, into the freezer or refrigerator, only because I'm impatient! But if you want to play the waiting game for a bit longer, go ahead & when they're all the way cooled, treat your furry baby to one & see how he/she likes 'em!
If they liked it, next time try adding other ingredients like peanut butter, blueberries, strawberries,etc;
