Easy fun flavors dog and cat treat recipe
Decided to mess with a dog treat recipe I'd been using.
the original:
2 cups whole-wheat flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup milk
Preheat oven to 375F. Combine ingredients in bowl. Knead dough on floured surface and roll to 1/4 inch. Cut with cookie cutters and place on cookie sheet. Bake for 10-20 minutes until golden. Store in ziploc bag in the fridge.
Flavour varients I made (replacing peanut butter):
Mashed peas w/wo bacon bits
Mashed carrots w/wo parsley flakes
Mashed cranberries w/wo cinnamin
Cheese spread w/wo bacon bits or melted cheese
Mashed hot dog
Canned, ground dog or cat food
Mashed olives, for cats who love olives
Tuna
Prepared, thick oatmeal
Prepared, thick chicken, pork, or beef gravy
Tomato paste
-Try other ingredient that have this type consistency and are safe for your pets to eat.
Notes:
-These treats burn easy, check often and flip when half done. You can cook them until they are crisp or leave them a little soft.
-It may take more flour to make a good dough. The peas took a cup more to make it not stick but the cheese took the proper amount.
-For small puppy, training, or cat treats use a knife to cut a grid from rolled out dough and seperate pieces, don't bake as long.
-The treats don't rise or stick (except the cheese ones which rose a lot) so don't worry about spacing on the pan.
