Here’s a step-by-step guide to baking the best homemade dog biscuits: First, preheat your oven to 350F (175C). In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of whole wheat flour, 1 cup of rolled oats, and teaspoon of salt. In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce, cup of peanut butter (make sure it doesn’t contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs!), and cup of honey. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a tablespoon or two of water until it comes together. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about inch thickness. Use cookie cutters to create fun shapes. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them cool completely before serving to your excited pup! Adjust baking time depending on your oven.
To ensure the best homemade dog biscuits experience and outcome, there are a few tips to keep in mind. First, always double-check that the peanut butter you’re using is xylitol-free. This artificial sweetener is extremely harmful to dogs. Second, don’t overbake the biscuits, as they can become too hard. Aim for a slightly golden-brown color. Third, for a longer shelf life, store the cooled biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should last for about two weeks. Fourth, feel free to experiment with different ingredients based on your dog’s preferences and dietary needs. You can add shredded carrots, pumpkin puree, or even a little bit of cooked, unseasoned chicken or beef for extra flavor. Watch your dog’s reaction to new additions to ensure they are enjoying it.
