Homemade Puppy Happiness


This is Odinn, our amazing pup. Today he is six months old so I decided that it was about time I started making dog biscuits for him, opposed to buying them. They are easy, cheap and he LOVES them (especially if they are on the crunchy side). So, in the hope that others will follow, here is a recipe for DIY dog treats.

Ingredients:

2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
2/3 cup beef broth (make sure it is from bouillon)
1/2 cup peanut butter
6 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1 tablespoon molasses
1 egg

Directions:

I. Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit

II. Mix dry ingredients (flour and cornmeal). In another bowl mix the wet ingredients.

III. Mix the wet and dry into one bowl; fold and knead the dough.\

IV. Roll out the dough on a cutting board. After rolling the dough out cut it into the appropriate size for your dog and place on a greased baking sheet.

V. Bake for 30 minutes.

VI. Let cool and give your dog a treat!

*For a little extra 'yummy' put some plain yogurt on the treat before giving it to them!*
