Peanut Butter Twists

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup organic oat flour (plus extra for rolling and adjusting consistency of dough)
  • 1/2 cup organic all natural peanut butter
    • (*** make sure it is xylitol / birch sugar-free***)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened organic applesauce
  • 1 Tablespoon organic honey
  • 1 organic egg (large) and extra egg whites to do an egg wash on twists before baking

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, applesauce, honey and egg. Stir until smooth.
  4. Gradually mix in the oat flour, mixing until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky to handle, you can add a little more oat flour until it forms a consistency you’re comfortable working with
  5. Divide the dough into small portions and with your hands, roll each into thin ropes (about 1/4 inch thick)
  6. Twist two “ropes” together to create a spiral pattern. Gently press the ends to secure the twists.
  7. Place the twists on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Using a basting/pastry brush, put a thin coat of egg whites on twists
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes if you want your cookies to be firm and slightly soft in the center. For a crunchier cookie, bake an additional 5-10 minutes.
  10. Allow the twists to cool on a wire rack completely before serving

Birthday Biscuits

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups organic whole wheat flour
  • 2 large organic eggs
  • ½ cup organic canned pumpkin purée (Make sure you get pure pumpkin purée and not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 Tablespoon organic honey
  • 2 tablespoons organic all natural peanut butter (please be sure your peanut butter does not contain birch sugar / xylitol which is extremely toxic to dogs)
  • ½ teaspoon organic ground cinnamon

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl; mix with spatula until well combined. Then knead with hands until mixture starts to come together. Dough will be dry and stiff. You can add 1 teaspoon water at a time (only if you find the consistency of the dough tough to work with), but don’t add too much as it should remain dry and stiff
  • Roll the dough to the thickness of your liking… the thinner, the dough, the crunchier, the treat
  • Use a cookie cutter to cut into desired shapes, and then transfer to parchment paper lined cookie sheets
  • Bake about 30- 35 minutes or until treats are a golden brown.
  • Let cool on a cooling rack before serving to your dog.
