Making this recipe was really fun! Normally the dogs know they can't taste anything I bake, so it was nice to make something to give to them instead of tormenting them with delicious smells! It was really easy too, and I HATE hate HATE rolling out dough and usually refuse to do it, but I had no problem whatsoever with this recipe. The yield for me was 42 small treats.
My oldest dog, Sparky, can't process fat well anymore and is almost ten years old, so she's the main reason I made the treats low-fat. She was super excited and loved them!
My puppy, Sophia, is such a chub! The treats must've been good because this picture caught her in the process of growling at Sparky when she came up close.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- ¼ cup cornmeal, stone ground
- ¼ cup quick cooking rolled oats
- 1 ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 egg whites
- ¼ cup molasses
- ¼ cup skim milk
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Directions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, rolled oats, and garlic powder.
- In a small bowl, whisk egg whites, oil, milk, molasses, and water together.
- Make a well in the flour mixture and gradually stir in the oil mixture until well blended. Shape the dough into a ball (or two if you wish) and knead them on a well floured surface for about two minutes.
- Roll the dough to ½ inch thickness and cut out with dog themed cookie cutters, (I used a small bone cutter) then place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
- Bake 30 minutes at 350 F, then turn oven off and leave biscuits to harden for 1 hour.
- Cool and store, at room temperature, in a container with a loose fitting lid.
