Peanut Butter & Bacon Dog Treats

  • Prep time: 10 mins

  • Cook time: 32 mins

  • Total time: 1 hour

  • Yield: 15 4-inch treats

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (255g) natural creamy peanut butter

  • 3/4 cup (180ml) nonfat milk

  • 1 large egg or 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

  • 1 Tablespoon baking powder

  • 1/3 cup (28g) oats*

  • 2–3 strips cooked bacon, chopped

How to Cook:

1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, gently mix the peanut butter, milk, and egg together with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula. Add the flour and baking powder. You may need to turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and use your hands to work in the flour. Mix in the oats and bacon. The dough is extremely thick and heavy.

3. Using a floured rolling pin, cut into shapes using a 3-inch (or smaller/larger, cookie cutter size does not matter) cookie cutters or a knife. Arrange on the baking sheets. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until very lightly browned on the bottom. Remove from the oven, and flip the treats to bake the other side for 10-12 more minutes.

4. Allow to cool completely before serving to your pup. Cover and store leftovers at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
