Honey and Oat Dog Biscuits

Happy Valentines Day!

I've posted a couple of recipes now for some ideas for homemade gifts for someone you love for Valentines day - oreo truffles (peanut butter and peppermint) for example, or a giant cookie professing your undying love. But what if the love in your life is of the puppy variety? Adam and I always remind each other that it's a close call for first place in the affection stakes in our house ;)

So I present you with a quick and easy Valentines recipe for the dog love of your life!



Honey, Oat and Peanut Butter Dog Biscuits

Ingredients:

1 cup oats
1 cup plain flour
1 tbsp runny honey
⅓ cup peanut butter
1 egg

Method:

Add ingredients to a food processor if you have one and process until it all comes together to form a dough. It should stick together and you should be able to easily mould it into a ball. If not, add a little more peanut butter if it's too dry or more oats or flour if it's too wet.

Wrap dough in cling film and chill for an hour or so.

Remove from fridge and preheat oven to 180° C

Roll out dough to about 1cm and cut into hearts with a cookie cutter. Alternatively, you can just shape the dough into a rectangle and cut into squares. The size of the heart cutter should be reflective of your dog ie if you have a little dog like my two then use a little cutter, if you have a Great Dane or similar then use a bigger one!

Cook for ten minutes or until golden brown.

Transfer to a wire rack to let cool.

Feed to your excited pups!

Note:

You don't need a food processor to make this, you can just as easily beat it together yourself in a bowl with a wooden spoon but I was feeling particularly lazy today

Another note:

These are perfectly fit for human consumption (I gave these out three at a time - one to Roxy, one to Izzy, and one to my husband. Couldn't get him to give me his paw first though ;)
