Peanut Butter Chicken Broth Dog Treats

Peanut Butter Chicken Broth Dog Treats

by
These savory and slightly sweet treats are a fantastic way to spoil your dog. The combination of chicken broth and peanut butter makes them irresistible, and they are perfect for training or just a daily snack.
Yields: Approximately 3-4 dozen small bone-shaped treats Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 20-25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
  • 1/2 cup natural, xylitol-free peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth (ensure it contains no onion or garlic powder)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats (optional, for texture)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, peanut butter, and chicken broth until smooth and well combined.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and rolled oats (if using).
  4. Form Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a stiff dough forms. You may need to use your hands to knead the last bit of flour in. If the dough is too dry, add a teaspoon of broth; if it’s too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour.
  5. Roll and Cut: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter (a small bone shape is always a hit!) to cut out the treats. Reroll and cut the remaining dough.
  6. Bake: Place the treats on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the treats are firm.
  7. Cool and Store: Let the treats cool completely on a wire rack. This is crucial for them to harden and become crunchy.
Storage: Store cooled treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months.

Homemade Dog Waffles

Yields: 6-8 small waffles Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 15-20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (or oat flour for a gluten-free option)
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (ensure it’s xylitol-free)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup water or unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your waffle iron.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and baking powder.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, xylitol-free peanut butter, egg, and water (or almond milk). If you’re using honey, add it in now.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
  5. Lightly grease your waffle iron with a bit of coconut oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Pour a portion of the batter onto the hot waffle iron (the amount will depend on the size of your iron).
  7. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Carefully remove the waffle and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving to your eager pup.
Serving Suggestion: For an extra special treat, you can top the cooled waffles with a dollop of plain yogurt and some fresh berries like blueberries or sliced strawberries.
Storage: Store any leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months. You can pop them in the toaster to warm them up before serving.
