Cuisine: Dog Treats
Serves: 30 biscuits
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and peanut butter. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well-blended, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Crack the egg into the yogurt and peanut butter mixture. Whisk together until completely incorporated and the mixture becomes uniform.
- Gradually add the whole wheat flour to the wet ingredients, stirring continuously to form a cohesive dough. Mix until the dough becomes firm and can be easily handled.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to approximately 1/4 inch thickness.
- Use cookie cutters or a knife to cut the dough into desired shapes for dog biscuits. Bone-shaped cutters work particularly well for this recipe.
- Carefully place the cut biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small space between each treat.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the biscuits are firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool completely on a wire rack before serving to your dog.
- Store the cooled biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
Tips
- Use natural, xylitol-free peanut butter to ensure your dog's safety.
- For dogs with wheat sensitivities, try substituting whole wheat flour with oat or rice flour.
- Allow biscuits to cool completely to achieve the perfect crunchy texture.
- Customize the shape using fun cookie cutters to make treat time more exciting.
- If the dough feels too sticky, refrigerate for 15-20 minutes before rolling.
- Always introduce new treats gradually and in moderation.
- Check with your veterinarian if you have concerns about specific ingredients for your dog's diet.
