Why I Created This Recipe for Churro

There are days when I barely have time to prep dinner — but Churro still expects his special snacks. This recipe came from one of those days. Three ingredients, one bowl, and a very happy pup.


It’s our go-to for road trips, grooming rewards, or when Churro’s just looking extra cute. If you're into quick bakes, you'll also love these 15-minute bacon cheddar treats — a hit for picky eaters.

  • 1/2 cup xylitol-free peanut butter (unsweetened)

  • 1/4 cup water (or more as needed)


Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Combine ingredients in a bowl and stir into a sticky dough.

  3. Roll into balls or press into small discs.

  4. Place on lined baking sheet.

  5. Bake for 14–18 minutes until firm on edges.

  6. Let cool completely before serving.


Optional Add-In: 1 tbsp mashed banana or a pinch of cinnamon (dog-safe!)

These treats skip preservatives, artificial flavors, and gums — things commonly linked to allergies, weight gain, or stomach upset. You're in control.


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.
