Although the concept of making your own homemade dog treats may sound super bougie at first, it can actually be a great money-saving alternative to store-bought treats. Plus, it gives you total control over what ingredients are going into your lovemuffin's belly. You can also totally customize the ingredients and swap applesauce for banana or pumpkin, or oat flour for rice or coconut flour, depending on what you have on hand. My Fluff is OBSESSED with these and even seems to prefer them over his other treats! Be warned, however, that your dog(s) may become magnetized to you and follow you wherever you go (if they don't already).
Ingredients
3 cups oats or oat flour
1/2 cup applesauce
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 flax eggs (2 tablespoons flax meal + 6 tablespoons water)
1 tablespoon molasses
3 cups oats or oat flour
1/2 cup applesauce
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 flax eggs (2 tablespoons flax meal + 6 tablespoons water)
1 tablespoon molasses
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spin the oats in a blender or food processor until they are finely ground like flour and set aside. Mix together wet ingredients (applesauce, peanut butter, flax eggs and molasses), and gradually add in oat flour. Roll out dough on a sheet of parchment paper and cut out cute shapes of choice. I used these dog bone shaped cutters. Bake for 20-25 minutes until they harden and get slightly golden around the edges. Allow them to cool and serve to that special woof (or woofs) in your life! You can even "frost" them with a little peanut butter for an extra special treat. 🐶🐾
