DIY Dog Treats Homemade Easy Peanut Butter
@wyseguide My French bulldog Kip pretty much asks me to bake up a batch of these dog biscuits about every week. If you have a dog, they’re sure to love them too! INGREDIENTS - 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats - 1/2 cup peanut butter (make sure it does not have Xylitol) - 2 tbsp ground flaxseed - 1 large ripe banana, cut into 1-inch pieces - 2 tbsp oat flour INSTRUCTIONS 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. 2. Pulse the oats in a food processor until they begin to break down, 6 pulses. Add the peanut butter, ground flaxseed, and banana. Pulse the food processor until the mixture is evenly combined and resembles a cookie dough, 20-30 pulses. 3. Sprinkle the countertop with oat flour and roll the dough out evenly to approximately 1/4 thick. Use a cookie or biscuit cutter to cut out the treats. Set them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. 4. Bake the treats in the preheated oven until they have dried out slightly. The edges will feel dry to the touch and the treat will be rigid, 10-12 minutes. Remove the treats from the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Store the treats in an airtight container on the counter for one week or in the freezer for up to one month.
