Super Easy Dog Biscuits

Here is another recipe that I made when I was doing the Grain Mill blogger Challenge. We love making all natural treats for the WHOLE family. 
 


This recipe uses Rice flour that I made using the grain mill. You will need a small cookie cutter approximately 1-1 1/2 inches. It can be a bone shape or any other shape you would like. I have a small heart on hand and that is what we used. They were just the perfect size for our medium sized dog. If you have a large breed you may want to use bigger.
Ingredients:
  • 1/2 Cup Whole Wheat Flour 
  • 3/4 Cup Rice Flour
  • 1/4 Cup Rolled Oats
  • 2 tsp Baking powder 
  • 6 Tbsp smooth natural peanut butter
  • 1 Tbsp of Molasses
  • 1/2 Cup milk  

Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 375 F 
  • Mix together the flours, oats and baking powder.   
  • Add peanut butter, milk and molasses, mix well. 
  • Form mixture in a ball and roll out between two pieces of parchment paper to 1/4 inch thickness (thicker for bigger dogs if you would like but then your baking time is increased).
  • Cut out treats and place on cookie sheet.  
  • Bake for 20 minutes (this will also depend on your oven and thickness of treats)
  • Cool on rack and store in air tight container. You can keep them in freezer or fridge. 
  • We made close to 65 treats but it will depend on size of cutter and thickness.

My Review:

This is a great book for anyone interested in the more natural line of skin care or to even learn a bit about what is in regular skin care that we should avoid for our health. This book is broken down into why we should use essential oils in our everyday skin care, even out shampoos and deodorant.

Once you learn about the basic ingredients that you need to make a lot of the recipes in this book you head into over 400 recipes that can be made at home with a lot of ingredients you may already have on hand or can pick up in a Health food store or section in your local grocery store.

So many great recipes I don't even know where to start. Along with benefits in using certain essential oils. A great book for beginners wanting to add more natural products in your everyday life. My daughter and I look forward to whipping up some of these recipes and maybe even gifting some to family and friends.
