Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits

My boxer, Ozzy, is so picky. I have bought so many dog treats only to bring them home and have him sniff them and turn his nose away. Ugh!!!
He loves these homemade dog biscuits. Sure to please your four-legged picky eaters!

2 cups whole-wheat flour

1 cup rolled oats

1/3 cup smooth or chunky peanut butter

1 1/4 cups hot water or chicken broth

Additional flour for rolling   

                                                         

Healthy Dog Biscuits

 

 

In a large bowl, whisk together flour and oats. Mix in the peanut butter and hot water. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour.
Knead the dough well. Round it into a ball and cover with plastic wrap and let rest 15 minutes.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. On floured parchment paper, roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thickness and cut into shapes with cookie cutters of choice. I use, what else, a bone cookie cutter. Since the dough doesn't spread while baking, you can cut the biscuits close together. Remove scraps and pick up the parchment paper by opposite ends and transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
Bake 40 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave them in the oven to cool overnight. The dryer they get, the longer they will stay fresh. If you can't wait that long, cool them completely on a wire rack and treat your doggie to a guilt-free snack.
