Some people would say I have an unhealthy obsession with my dog. Preferring to hangout with your dog, spending all your money on your dog, and thinking about your dog all the time is normal! Let me live my life! So, the other day, when I was looking at dog accessories on Amazon, I came across these adorable baking molds. I had to rationalize spending the money, so I found a recipe for homemade dog treats that I could (technically) eat too, and I decided to share the recipe with the Spoon community.
What You'll Need
I based my dog treats on this recipe, but I didn't have oat flour and wasn't about to buy it for this recipe. I used:
1 cup of pumpkin (make sure it isn't pumpkin pie filling)
1 1/2 (ish) cups of oats (either old fashion oats, or quick oats. It turned out fine with quick oats)
1/2 cup of peanut butter. Make sure the peanut butter doesn't have any xylitol in it!
Next, you'll just mix it all together in a big bowl. Or, if you're a lazy college student who only has a big tupperware, you use a big tupperware.
I tried the mix, and it was delicious. Peanut butter doesn't sit well with me, so my stomach hurts, but YOLO. Eat dog treats while you're young.
Next, I put them into the adorable molds.
I baked them for about 18 minutes at 350 degrees.
They came out so cute!!!
I love knowing what's in my dog's treats. They're very peanut butter-y and a little dense, but Peep wasn't complaining.
Peep loves them! They're easy to make, they don't smell super meat-y and pungent like other dog treats, and you might even have the ingredients hiding in the back of your cabinets.
