Oatmeal Peanut Butter Dog Cookies

Ingredients & Supplies

1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup oatmeal
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup bone broth or beef broth
1 egg
1/2 cup peanut butter (make sure it does not contain xylitol)
1/3 cup shredded cheese
Doggie Bone Cookie Cutter  or silicone mold
Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Rolling pin

    Directions

    Add wheat flour, oatmeal, almond flour, and baking soda into a large bowl. 
    Add coconut oil, beef broth and egg.
    Add peanut butter
    Add cheese.

    Mix on low until all ingredients are well combined. If the mixture is too dry, add a more beef broth. If the mixture is too wet, add a a little more wheat flour. In the end, you want a mixture you can roll out and use a cookie cutter with. 
    Once ready, move over to a flat surface. 
    Put down a piece of parchment paper with a tiny bit of whole wheat flour. Place a piece of parchment paper on top. Then, using a rolling pin, roll out dough until thin enough to use your cookie cutter.
    Now it's time to cut up your dough with a cookie cutter. Once that's done, place them on a baking sheet that's lined with parchment paper. 
    Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes, turning over halfway through. 
    Allow to fully cool before serving. This recipe will make approximately 20-26 biscuits, depending on the size cookie cutter or mold you use. 

    Pumpkin Dog Cookies

    Ingredients For ~10 Treats:

    ¾ Cup Coconut Oil
    ⅓ Cup 100% Pumpkin Puree
    2 Tablespoons Ground Ginger

    Directions:

    Take a sauce pan and place the coconut oil and pumpkin in it. Heat on low and wait until the coconut oil is completely melted. 

    The the pumpkin mixture and stir it really well until the oil takes on an orangish tint and takes in some of the pumpkin flavor. 

    Take your mold and put it on a flat surface. 

    Now take each mold and before spooning in some of the pumpkin, put a pinch of ginger in each of them. 

    Spoon in the pumpkin into each cavity,  then proceed to gently spoon in rest of the oil to fill the cavities almost to the brim.
    Put them into the freezer for about an hour and once the treats are solid and ready, they're good to go!

    3.5 oz container sweet potato baby food
    1 tbsp honey
    ¾ cup + 1 tbsp gluten-free flour
    ¼ cup rolled oats
    1 large egg, beaten
    Directions:

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit 

    Now line the baking sheet with parchment paper or tinfoil

    In a bowl, combine the sweet potato baby food, rolled oats, honey and flour. With a spatula, combine everything in the bowl. 

    Take the contents, put them on a clean surface and knead the dough all together.

    Pat or roll the dough to a thickness about 1/4-inch to 1/2 inch. Use a cookie cutter of whatever shape you want to start cutting out the shapes.

    Frozen Peanut Butter Banana Dog Treats

    Ingredients:

    1 cup softened coconut oil
    1 cup peanut butter
    1 medium banana

    Directions:

    Take your peeled banana, coconut oil, and peanut butter, and put them al into a bowl. Smash them together with the back of a spoon. The softer your peanut butter and oil, the easier this will combine. It's okay to have it a little chunky (just cut your baggie's corner a little larger to accommodate).
    When all combined, fill a plastic baggie with the mixture. 

    Snip the corner with scissors and squeeze the mixture into your mold. Silicone molds are amazing for this because once they're ready, they pop right out. 
    Pop them in the freezer and once they're frozen, they're ready to enjoy!
