Peanut Butter-Coconut Dog Treats

One of my friends has made homemade dog treats for our dogs. Needless to say, they've been enjoying the variety of treats. Seeing how much they like these treats, I thought it would be good to try to make some new dog treat recipes for them.

So, I took a look on a couple of my Pinterest boards that I had pinned dog treat recipes. The first pin led to a website that was featuring several treats. The peanut butter dog biscuits led to Pink Pistachio.

The recipe has eight basic ingredients - no chemicals which the majority of store-bought dog treats contain. They treats are easy to make and the dogs love them! They were excited watching me mix the ingredients together and putting them in the oven...and were eager to have their first treat hot out of the oven.



Ingredients: 

1 cup flour
1/4 cup oats
1/4 unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon applesauce

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all dry ingredients together. Add wet ingredients and mix until well combined. Knead into a well incorporated ball.

Roll out dough to 1/2 inch thick on wax paper.


Using a cookie cutter, cut out dog treats and place on an unlined baking sheet (I did a quick spray of cooking oil on the baking sheet). 


You can see the little bits of shredded coconut sticking out from the dog treats.


Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Store in an air-tight container.
