Anyone who knows me knows that I am absolutely sickeningly obsessed with my dog. So, naturally, my first recipe post is going to be dedicated to him. Not only is Beau my sweet puppy child, he's also my baking assistant. Given, he drools in the floor way more than he helps me bake, but he's still a perfect helper.
See, this is what I have to deal with any time I cook or bake anything.
It's IMPOSSIBLE to say no to that face, but I do it. It's a hard job.
Anyways, back to the dog biscuits. These are ridiculously simple and easy to make and only require TWO ingredients. Yes, two. So, if you love you pup as much as I do, you can make these homemade goodies for practically nothing, and they're way better for them because they have no processed anything. All you need is:
- 2 jars of baby food (any flavor is perfectly fine AS LONG AS it doesn't contain onion powder, which most baby foods do not, but some do)
- 2 cups of whole wheat flour
- Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
- Mix the two jars of baby food and the two cups of flour together. Beau got banana and mixed berry baby food today; he's thrilled. They need to form a firm dough. If the moisture from the baby food isn't enough to fully mix the flour, use a little bit of water to help you. I also found that mixing with my hands rather than a spatula made this MUCH easier. (Of course I forgot to take a picture, oh well. First post, y'all will live.)
- On a greased baking sheet (I used olive oil spray), form small 1-inch balls and place them about a half inch apart.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Let cool and store in a loosely covered container or paper bag.
See? Easy enough. These are about the size of my treats prior to going into the oven:
And these are what they looked like afterwards:
Simple enough, and I have a sweet little boy who is already begging for one. Try this out for your pup if you've never done it. It's simple, easy, cheap, and the pup will love you (more than they already do) for it.
