Recipe of the Week: Honey Peanut Butter Training Treats

Recipe created by: K. Stanley

Ingredients:

4 cups whole wheat flour **
2 cups peanut butter melted (chunky or smooth)
1 cup oatmeal
2 eggs
1 cup honey
1 cup water

Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Mix ingredients in a large bowl until well blended. Resulting mixture should be firm and slightly sticky.

Lightly grease a baking sheet with oil (I like to use spray olive oil). Roll dough into a ball and place in the middle of the sheet. Using your hands flatten the dough to an even thickness across the baking sheet. (This doesn't always work the way it's supposed to... just do the best you can.)


Bake for 20 minutes or until the edges of the dough begin to brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.


Using a large knife or a cleaver cut the dough into squares of appropriate size. I like 1/4 inch squares.
Store in an airtight container.

If you only have one dog, you can portion out about 1/4 of the resulting cookies and freeze the rest in a vacuum freezer bag.

** (whole grain rice flour can be substituted for wheat if your dog is sensitive, but you'll need to add 5 minutes to the cooking time.)
