Happy National Puppy Day to every single dog out there – thank you for sweet spirits, your effervescent greetings, your irreplaceable companionship!
A special shoutout to the baby girl who takes up half of my heart – Charlotte Barkley! Thanks for watching all my reality shows with me, for letting me suffocate you with snuggles, for laying with me when I am sad or lonely, and for making my life complete. The least I can do for you today is spoil you even more than usual with some homemade puppy treats!
We die at her one eyed blink! The perfectly photogenic dog life can get to be too much at times {sigh}.
Homemade Peanut Butter Puppy Biscuits
Ingredients: Yields 120 mini bones (half the recipe if needed like me)
- 1 cup white or whole wheat flour
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup unsweetened apple sauce or mashed banana
- ¼ cup vegetable, chicken or beef stock
- Bone shaped cookie cutter
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Combine flour, peanut butter and apple sauce in a large mixing bowl. Add stock and stir until well-combined. Dough should be pretty thick at this point.
- Once all ingredients are combined use your hands to press the dough into a ball. Flour counter and roll dough with rolling pin until about ¼ inch thick.
- Use a cookie cutter to cut the dough into desired shape and place on ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake for 18 minutes or until golden brown.
- Decorate with peanut butter + sprinkles, and share with puppy friends!
- Store in air-tight container
While I was unprepared with a bone shaped cookie cutter, I think Charlotte enjoyed the added peanut butter frosting with festive Spring-colored sprinkles!
